Experiments with small arrays of laser-cooled trapped ions have demonstrated an impressive number of technical achievements towards the ultimate goal of large scale quantum information processing. At the heart of these achievements are ion-trap, laser, and other technologies that deliver exquisite control over experimental parameters at the level of single atoms. Taking advantage of these technologies, we aim to use the interactions between ions - derived from their Coulomb repulsion together with the trap and other applied electromagnetic fields - to investigate many-body physics with a flavor reminiscent of familiar models in condensed matter.

用激光冷却的小阵列捕获离子的实验已经证明了在大规模量子信息处理的最终目标方面取得了令人印象深刻的技术成就。这些成就的核心是离子阱、激光和其他技术，这些技术可以在单原子水平上对实验参数进行精确控制。利用这些技术，我们的目标是利用离子之间的相互作用——源自它们的库仑排斥以及陷阱和其他应用电磁场——来研究多体物理，让人想起凝聚态物质中熟悉的模型。
