Dear All,


On behalf of the Director, you are cordially invited to the ICTP 
Colloquium by Prof. Peter Zoller, on "Programming Quantum Simulators 
with Atoms and Ions" which will take place today 14 December as an 
in-person event in the Budinich Lecture Hall at 16:00.

Biosketch: Prof. Peter Zoller is a Professor for theoretical physics at 
the University of Innsbruck, and Scientific Director at IQOQI Innsbruck 
<https://iqoqi.at/>. His research interests include atomic physics and 
theoretical quantum optics, and many-body quantum physics with quantum 
gases, and quantum information, in close collaboration with experiment. 
Since 1981 he has trained 34 PhD students and hosted 57 Postdocs. Future 
ESQ Postdocs can develop their research profile benefiting from atomic 
physics and quantum optics, in particular quantum many-body physics at 
the interface to condensed matter physics and high energy physics, and 
quantum information.

Abstract: Progress in developing analog quantum simulation platforms is 
reflected in increasing control of engineered many-body Hamiltonians, 
and the ability to perform single-site and single-shot readouts. This 
defines a new generation of programmable quantum simulators which 
combine a certain amount of programmability with scalability to large 
particle numbers.  The focus of this talk is to report work from a 
theory-experiment collaboration with trapped ion platforms with up to 
fifty qubits/spins, with the goal to develop and demonstrate quantum 
protocols, addressing questions from the fundamental to the practical. 
Examples to be discussed include measurement protocols revealing the 
entanglement structure of the many-body wavefunction, and implementing 
`optimal' quantum metrology with variational quantum circuits, where 
quantum simulators act as `programmable quantum sensors'.

The Colloquium will be livestreamed at ictp.it/livestream

Light refreshments will be served in the Lobby after the talk.

We look forward to your participation.

Best regards,

Office of the Director
