From quantum measurement to quantum simulations with Rydberg atoms

A seminar by Michel Brune that got the "Prix des trois physiciens" this year.
He explains the use of Rydberg atoms in quantum simulation. His team proposes the construction of a quantum simulator of XXZ spin chain or ladder Hamiltonian by using linear chains of trapped circular Rydberg atoms. We will discuss open condensed matter problems, which may be addressed with this simulator.
Michel Brune is a senior CNRS researcher working in the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel at École Normale Supérieure, and a professor at École Polytechnique.
He and his team (with Serge Haroche and Jean-Michel Raimond) made seminal contributions to the field of cavity QED.

Moi je trouve bien cette référence à Columbo.

Colombo ? ..., c'est un peu léger -
