Strongly repulsive ultracold atomic gases as a resource for quantum simulation

目前，许多领先的实验室正在进行实验，以模拟强相互作用系统的理论模型，使用超冷原子气体，一个程序，可以被称为量子模拟。这个新方向的核心是强相关性，这通常被认为是基础物理学中一些长期存在的问题背后的极端复杂性领域。该项目旨在开发新的理论工具来理解和解释强排斥超冷原子中物质的奇异态。这项研究将为澳大利亚、美国和其他地方正在进行的实验提供可检验的预测。它有助于保持澳大利亚在超冷原子物理研究领域的领先地位。

At present many leading laboratories are performing experiments to simulate theoretical models of strongly interacting systems using ultracold atomic gases, a program that may be referred to as quantum simulation. At the heart of this new direction is strong correlation, which is often regarded as a domain of extreme complexity behind some long-standing problems in fundamental physics. This project aims to develop novel theoretical tools to understand and characterise emergent exotic states of matter in strongly repulsive ultracold atoms. This research will provide testable predictions for on-going experiments in Australia, the USA and elsewhere. It helps maintain Australia’s leadership at the forefront of ultracold atomic physics research.
