Benasque Workshop "Quantum Simulations

February 28th to March 5th, 2011

Dear colleague,

        we are glad to announce our Benasque Workshop "Quantum Simulations" to take place from February 28th to March 5th, 2011. Although with some natural limitations, there is the possibility for applicants to request an oral presentation, otherwise there will be enough place for posters. You may choose the subject of your talk with freedom in the general scope of quantum simulations, see below for more details.

    As an applicant, we request yo to confirm your attendance and register as soon as possible in the event website:

http://benasque.org/2011qs/

    We would be pleased if you attend and/or send other members of your group, and if you help us to disseminate this announcement among potential interested colleagues and young researchers.

   
    The goal of the Workshop 'Quantum Simulations' is to gather the leading and interested scientists in theory and experiments on quantum simulations with an open interdisciplinary scope. Quantum simulations consist in the intentional and artificial reproduction of a quantum dynamics, difficult to access and study, onto an unnatural quantum system that is more controllable theoretically and experimentally. The objectives are diverse, ranging from purely aesthetic, to communicating independent fields, to the more mediatic ones, as is the case of calculating and predicting physics that cannot be done with existing computational power. Quantum simulations are not restricted to a specific field. It is intrinsically eclectic, ranging from fundamentals in physics and quantum information, to quantum optics (photonics, cavity QED, trapped ions, optical lattices, BEC), to condensed-matter (strongly-correlated systems, quantum dots, superconducting qubits, circuit QED), to quantum chemistry, to relativistic quantum mechanics, to general relativity, to quantum field theory inside or beyond the standard model, and even to quantum biology.

    From a certain point of view, arts were created because we humans are not happy with reality. Even though this may appear to be a contradiction for a scientist, quantum simulation is our quantum theater. Here, we may create not only existing physics that is difficult to reproduce, but also physics that may not exist in nature, with the only condition that is possible and does not violate the physical laws*. We will organize dayly short sessions of talks and posters, and also round tables for discussions around present and upcoming generations of quantum simulations. The main goal is to enjoy together the physics of quantum simulations with a creative approach, to boost interdisciplinary collaborations, and interest the young scientists in a passionating and burgeoning field.

*This assertion is a conjecture that deserves a proof or a rebuttal.
