The main theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum simulation have been discussed in this article, and some of the challenges and promises of this fast-growing field have also been highlighted in this review.
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

Dynamic finite-size scaling after a quench at quantum transitions.

TL;DR: A general dynamic finite-size scaling theory for the quantum dynamics after an abrupt quench is presented, at both continuous and first-order quantum transitions, and the dynamic scaling laws are supported by numerical evidence.

On applications of quantum computing to plasma simulations

TL;DR: It is shown that many plasma-wave problems are naturally representable in a quantumlike form and thus are naturally fit for quantum computers and thus can be simulated with quantum computers too, albeit that requires more computational resources compared to the first case.

Emulation of complex open quantum systems using superconducting qubits

TL;DR: This work addresses the limit that quantum simulators can beat classical computers and proposes physical setups that can be used to reproduce the quantum dynamics of a standard and multiple-mode Holstein model.

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.

Cold Bosonic Atoms in Optical Lattices

TL;DR: In this paper, the Bose-Hubbard model was used to model the phase transition from the superfluid to the Mott insulator phase induced by varying the depth of the optical potential.
