Author(s): Monroe, C; Campbell, WC; Duan, LM; Gong, ZX; Gorshkov, AV; Hess, PW; Islam, R; Kim, K; Linke, NM; Pagano, G; Richerme, P; Senko, C; Yao, NY | Abstract: Laser-cooled and trapped atomic ions form an ideal standard for the simulation of interacting quantum spin models. Effective spins are represented by appropriate internal energy levels within each ion, and the spins can be measured with near-perfect efficiency using state-dependent fluorescence techniques. By applying optical fields that exert optical dipole forces on the ions, their Coulomb interaction can be modulated to produce long-range and tunable spin-spin interactions that can be reconfigured by shaping the spectrum and pattern of the laser fields in a prototypical example of a quantum simulator. Here the theoretical mapping of atomic ions to interacting spin systems, the preparation of complex equilibrium states, and the study of dynamical processes in these many-body interacting quantum systems are reviewed, and the use of this platform for optimization and other tasks is discussed. The use of such quantum simulators for studying spin models may inform our understanding of exotic quantum materials and shed light on the behavior of interacting quantum systems that cannot be modeled with conventional computers.read more

A quantum Newton's cradle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a homogeneous 1D Bose gas with point-like collisional interactions is integrable, and that it is possible to construct a system with many degrees of freedom that does not reach thermal equilibrium even after thousands of collisions.

TL;DR: This work uses programmable arrays of individual atoms trapped in optical tweezers, with interactions controlled by laser excitation to Rydberg states, to implement an iconic many-body problem-the antiferromagnetic two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model, and demonstrates that this platform can be readily used to address open questions in many- body physics.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Simulating physics with computers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the possibility of simulating physics in the classical approximation, a thing which is usually described by local differential equations, and the possibility that there is to be an exact simulation, that the computer will do exactly the same as nature.
