Frontiers in Rydberg Physics- From Few-body Interactions to Many-body Quantum Simulations
Abstract
Strong and precisely tunable interactions with Rydberg atoms as intermediaries and impurities have opened up vast vistas into far from equilibrium dynamics of few-body and many-body quantum systems and quantum sensing. Long-range interactions between Rydberg atoms and quantum atomic and molecular surroundings allow for engineering of many-body quantum phases and entanglement, as demonstrated in Rydberg qubit arrays. Injection spectroscopy of quenched bosonic and fermionic gases with Rydberg impurities provide precise probes of the many-body processes, including formation of polaron quasiparticles, quantum sensing and ultracold chemical reactivity. An international conference on these most topical areas will be arranged in July 2023 on the campus of University College London. The conference program will cover all areas of Rydberg physics from quantum sensing and simulation, to precision spectroscopy and cold chemistry. Driven by the explosive developments in the field over the last decade, particular emphasis will be placed on the generation of strong interparticle interactions mediated by Rydberg excitations for simulations of, e.g., quantum magnetization, quantum few- and many-body phenomena, and quantum simulation and computation.
