Hybrid Rydberg Atom - Polar Molecule Platforms for Fundamental Physics and Quantum Simulations
Rydberg atoms and polar molecules are two of the leading candidates for quantum simulations of few-body and many-body phenomena, including coherent spin exchange and long-range interactions, nonequilibrium dynamics near quantum phase transitions, variational methods and novel chemical reactivity, and fundamental physics, such as physics beyond the standard model. More recently, hybrid platforms have emerged where the strong interactions in Rydberg atoms and polar molecules can be exploited to create versatile quantum simulators. This workshop brings together some of the leading practitioners from both topical subfields in Cambridge.
