Simulating large-scale (2+1)D U(1) lattice gauge theories with ultracold atoms
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
Neutral-atom quantum simulators in optical lattices provide a scalable platform for exploring strongly correlated quantum matter with single-atom resolution and control. Recent advances now enable two-dimensional arrays of hundreds to thousands of atoms, opening new opportunities to study emergent phenomena in strongly-correlated quantum systems.
In this talk, I will highlight two recent directions that significantly advance the capabilities of lattice-based analog quantum simulators: the realization of large-scale two-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theories and the study of their out-of-equilibrium dynamics, as well as recent progress in integrating digital control elements for flexible state preparation and readout. Together, these developments illustrate how optical-lattice-based neutral-atom platforms are becoming increasingly versatile tools for exploring complex quantum phenomena beyond the reach of current numerical methods.
