Description:

Quantum simulation and optimization: New approaches to difficult problems from subatomic physics to computational biophysics <br /><br />

Abstract <br />
We are currently witnessing a tantalizing progress in the control over quantum devices, handing us novel microscopic approaches to complex many-particle problems. In this talk, I will first highlight how this leads to rapid progress in the quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories. I will discuss our recent simulations on equilibration and confinement dynamics in optical lattices and superconducting qubits. I will also illustrate salient challenges such as protection of desired symmetries and increase of error resilience. In a second example, I will illustrate how quantum devices may help us to solve problems from computational biophysics and soft matter, such as finding the dominant reaction pathway of a complex macromolecule or the sampling of polymers. With these examples, I aim at giving a glimpse on the current exciting progress and the fascinating future potential of quantum technologies. <br /><br />
