The simulation of quantum mechanics is a difficult
computational problem, especially when concerning systems with a large
number of degrees of freedom. However, this difficulty may be overcome
by using some tunable quantum system to study another less controllable
or accessible quantum system, i.e., quantum simulation. Nowadays quantum
simulation is an exceptionally vivid field of research embracing
several areas of physics, ranging from atomic, molecular, and optical
physics, to condensed-matter, nuclear, gravitational and high-energy
physics, as well as quantum information science. Advances in the quantum
optical manipulation of atoms, molecules and solid-state devices have
enabled the realization of experimental platforms whose exquisite
control permits systematic investigations of complex many-body phenomena
and their potential applications. Current progress continues to
generate new challenges for experiments as well as for the theoretical
description and conceptualization of such synthetic many-body systems.
We are interested in the characterization of these quantum systems for
fundamental research in quantum simulation as well as for their
applications to quantum technological devices.
