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

Observation of a many-body dynamical phase transition with a 53-qubit quantum simulator

TL;DR: Here, a quantum simulator composed of up to 53 qubits is used to study non-equilibrium dynamics in the transverse-field Ising model with long-range interactions, enabling the dynamical phase transition to be probed directly and revealing computationally intractable features that rely on the long- range interactions and high connectivity between qubits.

Quantum simulations based on measurements and feedback control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a scheme for performing quantum simulations with atoms in cavities based on a photon detection feedback loop that requires only linear optical elements, which can simulate any time evolution that can be written as a sum of two-qubit Hamiltonians.
