Building synthetic quantum systems with photons, ions and neutral atoms

Nowadays, it has been possible to achieve control of quantum systems to an enormous degree on different hardware platforms. In this seminar we will discuss a variety of experiments based on assemblies of either photons, neutral atoms or ions, that highlight their capabilities to study quantum effects ranging from high precision measurements to complex many-body phenomena.

The seminar is now planned as a one-day in-person workshop taking place on Wednesday 22/09/2021.

The proposed topics include

Photons
- Bell inequalities
- Cloning
- EIT et light storage
- Super and subradiance
- Boson sampling

Neutral atoms
- Tweezer and atom sorting
- Quantum gas microscopes
- Super solids
- Optical lattice clock

Ions
- Cooling and clocks
- Schrödinger cat
- Trotterization in ion chains
