Quantum simulation with optical lattices
This seminar will be about quantum simulation with dressed optical
lattices. I will first define and motivate the concept of quantum
simulation and present some of the first theoretical proposals and
experimental realizations of quantum simulators. I will move on to
give an introduction to the physics of optical lattices and
state-dependent optical lattices. Then, I will present some of the
quantum simulator proposals we have put forth using this
technology.
Please note exceptional time and place.
