Quantum simulators promise to achieve a deep understanding and quantitative description of the complex physical world at the micro-level and its ramifications at the macro-level, as well as in technology, that has so far been elusive using classical numerical tools and analytical study. Proof-of-principle experiments have demonstrated the essential ingredients of this idea. Recent years have seen an enormous progress in preparing, controlling and measuring quantum many-body systems with unprecedented accuracy and control.
The workshop's theme concerns different ways to achieve analog quantum simulators as well as their fundamental properties and demands. More specifically, this includes topics such as
Quantum simulation, certification, robustness, and complexity
Quantum simulation of continuous and lattice atomic gases
Exciton-Polariton condensates and their dynamics
Quantum fluids of light
Universality out of equilibrium
Analogue gravity
