DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Immanuel Bloch\nhosted by Maksym Serbyn\nAbstract: Mor
 e than 30 years ago\, Richard Feynman outlined his vision of a quantum sim
 ulator for carrying out complex calculations on physical problems. Today\,
  his dream is a reality in laboratories around the world. This has become 
 possible by using complex experimental setups of thousands of optical elem
 ents\, which allow atoms to be cooled to Nanokelvin temperatures\, where t
 hey almost come to rest. The atoms can then be trapped and manipulated in 
 arrays of millions of microscopic light traps. Such light crystals allow a
 n unprecedented view into the microscopic world of quantum materials and e
 nable the currently most precise atomic clocks\, fundamental to next-gener
 ation timing and navigation. In this public lecture\, I will explain how s
 uch quantum simulators are realized at the lowest temperatures known\, and
  highlight their applications\, which range from condensed-matter physics 
 and statistical physics to ‘table-top’ high-energy physics.
