Quantum simulator

This work Systems: atomic, molecular, optical, solid state. Being built are gated quantum dots and photonic arrays. Possible areas of research are:

1. Quantum materials simulation.
   1. pseudo-gap
   2. strange metals
   3. the quantum critical fan
   4. heterostructures,
   5. artificial lattice structures (quantum spin ice)
   6. quantum generalizations of soft matter (the spin glass)
2. Quantum chemistry
   1. to build a model of the photosynthesis problem
   2. calculating reaction rates and modeling catalysis
   3. calculating molecular properties of a single Cr2 dimer
3. Quantum devices and transport
   1. the transport properties of the Fermi-Hubbard model should provide understanding of high-temperature cuprate phenomenology
   2. quantum-dot based photovoltaics
   3. quantum thermoelectrics
   4. spintronics
   5. nanothermodynamics (an information-based Carnot cycle)
4. Gravity, particle physics, and cosmology
   1. lattice gauge theories
   2. color superconductivity
   3. cosmological defect production in inflating spacetimes
   4. quantum effects in curved spacetimes
5. Non-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics
