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

Mimicking a squeezed-bath interaction: Quantum-reservoir engineering with atoms

TL;DR: In this article, a two-level system with two ground levels of an atom with angular momentum (J = 1/\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{2}J= 1/2$ transition is considered, and the laser parameters allow one to choose properties of the squeezed-bath interaction, such as the photon-number expectation number and the squeezing phase.
