Quantum simulators (QS) are experimental systems that allow mimic hard to simulate models of condensed matter, high energy physics and beyond. QS have various platforms: from ultracold atoms and ions to superconducting qubits. They constitute the important pillar of quantum...

Light mediated dipole-dipole (DD) interactions in high density samples constitutes an interesting source of complex physical phenomena. Ultracold atomic systems provide a unique platform to study such fundamental phenomena. This project targets the systematic study of the...

The overarching goal of the project is to develop, test, and explore a novel platform based on a new class of ultracold molecules with unprecedentedly large polar interactions, one to two orders of magnitude larger than for existing ultracold molecular species. This platform...

Studies of homogeneous quantum gases, trapped in uniform optical-box potentials, bridge the fields of ultracold atoms and condensed matter physics. Being versatile and well-isolated systems, ultracold atoms offer an outstanding platform for engineering quantum many-body...

The use of large ensembles of two-level atoms (qubits) in cavity QED allows the exploration of collective states with long-range couplings mediated by the electromagnetic field of the cavity. Such systems are interesting quantum sensors and can be used to improve the...

Fermions are ubiquitous in nature, and the study of fermionic systems with strong correlations lies at the centre of many fundamental and relevant problems in modern physics and chemistry. Any microscopic simulation not only needs to treat exponentially large Hilbert spaces...

Electron-phonon interactions lead to a plethora of phenomena in strongly correlated solid-state systems such as superconductivity and charge-density waves. However, the complex dynamics manifesting these phases can be beyond the reach of computational modelling, especially...

In a quantum engineering approach we aim to create strongly correlated molecular quantum gases for polar molecules confined in an optical lattice to two-dimensional geometry with full quantum control of all de-grees of freedom with single molecule control and detection. The...

Despite large advances in both algorithms and computer technology, even typical instances of computationally hard problems are too difficult to be solved on today’s computers. Unconventional computational devices that break with the usual paradigms of digital electronic...

Analog quantum simulation protocols, which aim to use quantum hardware without performing error correction to solve large quantum many-body problems, have emerged as a near-term as well as experimentally accessible alternative to a building a fault tolerant quantum computer...
