SUMMARY:From Analog to Computational Quantum Simulation with Neutral Atoms
DESCRIPTION:From Analog to Computational Quantum Simulation with Neutral AtomsNeutral-atom quantum simulators in optical lattices have rapidly evolved into some of themost powerful near-term quantum devices for exploring the complex properties ofquantum many-body systems. Unlike universal quantum processors, these analog platformsrealize targeted Hamiltonians directly from the microscopic interactions between atoms.State-of-the-art systems now operate with hundreds to thousands of individuallycontrollable atoms, enabling precise studies of strongly correlated quantum matter, both inand out of equilibrium.The system sizes and coherence times available in state-of-the-art experiments challengethe most advanced classical computations. In this talk, I will focus on two emergingdirections: (i) integration of digital control operations for flexible state preparation andreadout; (ii) quantum simulation of topological phases of matter and large-scale twodimensionallattice gauge theories. Together, these advances mark a transition from analogto computational quantum simulation - where neutral-atom platforms not only emulate, butbegin to predict complex quantum phenomena and enable new discoveries.
