INSTITUTIONAL INFO
The goal of the Workshop on Quantum Simulations 2013 is to gather the leading and interested scientists in theory and experiments on quantum simulations with an open interdisciplinary scope. Quantum simulations consist in the intentional and artificial reproduction of a quantum dynamics, difficult to access and study, onto another quantum system that is typically more controllable. The objectives are diverse, since the establishment of communicating vessels between independent fields, to computing complex physical problems that are impossible with classical computers, or based on purely ludic and aesthetic arguments. Quantum simulations are not restricted to a specific field. They are intrinsically eclectic, ranging from fundamentals in physics and quantum information, to quantum optics (photonics, cavity QED, trapped ions, optical lattices, BEC), to condensed-matter (strongly-correlated systems, quantum dots, superconducting qubits, circuit QED), to quantum chemistry, to relativistic quantum mechanics, to special relativity, to general relativity, to quantum field theory inside or beyond the standard model, and even to quantum biomimetics.
From a certain point of view, arts were created because creative minds, in science and arts, are not happy with reality. Even though this may appear to be a contradiction for a scientist, quantum simulations represent our quantum theater. In this sense, we may create physics that is difficult to reproduce with classical computers, but we can also mimic physics that does not exist in nature or even reproduce behaviours that contradict its fundamental laws, with the only condition that the simulator does not violate them. We will organize dayly sessions of talks and posters, and also round table meetings for discussions around present and upcoming generations of quantum simulations. The main goal is to enjoy together the physics of quantum simulations with a creative approach, to boost interdisciplinary collaborations, and interest the young scientists in a passionating and burgeoning field.
