Simulating quantum mechanics is known to be a difficult computational problem, especially
when dealing with large systems. However, this difficulty may be overcome by using some …

Recent experiments have demonstrated that light and matter can mix together to an extreme
degree, and previously uncharted regimes of light-matter interactions are currently being …

All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is
predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum …

In the field of quantum simulation, methods and tools are explored for simulating the
dynamics of a quantum system of interest with another system that is easier to control and …

When a neutral atom moves in a properly designed laser field, its center-of-mass motion
may mimic the dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field, with the emergence of a …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Quantum simulators are controllable quantum systems that can be used to simulate other
quantum systems. Being able to tackle problems that are intractable on classical computers …

Can high-energy physics be simulated by low-energy, non-relativistic, many-body systems
such as ultracold atoms? Such ultracold atomic systems lack the type of symmetries and …

The Dirac equation successfully merges quantum mechanics with special relativity. It
provides a natural description of the electron spin, predicts the existence of antimatter and is …

In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …
