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.
