Engineered Strongly-Interacting Lattice Models with Atomic Quantum Simulators

International Workshop
29 June - 3 July 2026

Recent advances on the development of atomic quantum simulators, including Rydberg atoms arrays or polar molecules, offer new opportunities for studying strongly-correlated lattice models beyond current computational capabilities. This workshop connects theory and experiments around atom-based platforms to discuss the current status of these platforms and near-future perspective.

Topics include

  • Atom-based quantum simulators
  • Rydberg atoms
  • Dipolar atoms and polar molecules
  • Long-range interactions
  • Quantum engineering and probing
  • Strongly-correlated systems
  • Quantum magnetism
  • Topological phases and gauge fields
