Theoretical physicist Torsten Zache has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for his research into quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. He aims to help overcome limitations in the numerical investigation of gauge theories. Gauge theories play a central role in understanding phenomena in high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information science.

An international team led by Innsbruck quantum physicist Peter Zoller, together with the US company QuEra Computing, has directly observed a gauge field theory similar to models from particle physics in a two-dimensional analog quantum simulator for the first time. The study, published in Nature, opens up new possibilities for research into fundamental physical phenomena.
