Abstract
Simulating quantum mechanics is known to be a difficult computational problem, especially when dealing with large systems However, this difficulty may be overcome by using some controllable quantum system to study another less controllable or accessible quantum system, ie, quantum simulation Quantum simulation promises to have applications in the study of many problems in, eg, condensed-matter physics, high-energy physics, atomic physics, quantum chemistry and cosmology Quantum simulation could be implemented using quantum computers, but also with simpler, analog devices that would require less control, and therefore, would be easier to construct A number of quantum systems such as neutral atoms, ions, polar molecules, electrons in semiconductors, superconducting circuits, nuclear spins and photons have been proposed as quantum simulators This review outlines the main theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum simulation and emphasizes some of the challenges and promises of this fast-growing field

Optimal Hamiltonian Simulation by Quantum Signal Processing.

TL;DR: It is argued that physical intuition can lead to optimal simulation methods by showing that a focus on simple single-qubit rotations elegantly furnishes an optimal algorithm for Hamiltonian simulation, a universal problem that encapsulates all the power of quantum computation.

Quantum spin dynamics and entanglement generation with hundreds of trapped ions

TL;DR: It is shown that a two-dimensional “crystal” of around 200 9Be+ ions held together by magnetic and electric fields in a so-called Penning trap can simulate quantum magnetism, which sets the stage for simulations with more complicated forms of interaction that classical computers would find intractable.

Many-body physics with individually controlled Rydberg atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the techniques necessary for the manipulation of neutral atoms for the purpose of quantum simulation and explain how the different types of interactions between Rydberg atoms allow a natural mapping onto various quantum spin models.

Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.

The quantum internet

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for quantum interconnects, which convert quantum states from one physical system to those of another in a reversible manner, allowing the distribution of entanglement across the network and teleportation of quantum states between nodes.

Quantum Phase Transition From a Superfluid to a Mott Insulator in a Gas of Ultracold Atoms

TL;DR: This work observes a quantum phase transition in a Bose–Einstein condensate with repulsive interactions, held in a three-dimensional optical lattice potential, and can induce reversible changes between the two ground states of the system.
