Experimental access to some of the most intriguing and puzzling quantum phenomena is difficult due to their fragility to noise, the small space and time scales involved or the high energies required. Moreover the dimension of the quantum mechanical Hilbert space grows exponentially with the number of particles in a system and its description therefore requires more data than any classical computer can handle. To circumvent these problems researchers have recently embarked on a new route: Quantum optical devices, ultra cold atoms and trapped ions that form structures which can be controlled and manipulated in the laboratories with ever improving precision are employed to emulate quantum effects that originally take place in much less accessible regimes. These devices which are currently receiving increasing attention have therefore been termed “Quantum Simulators”. The workshop aims to bring together scientists which work on the development and applications of "Quantum Simulators" in different fields of physics. Thereby, the idea of mimicking physics which is experimentally not accessible in its original context with other systems that are well controllable in the laboratory, should be a common ground of interest. |
