Beschreibung
We will discuss the recent advances and new opportuning involving programmable, coherent manipulation of quantum many-body systems for probing topological matter and simulating lattice gauge theories. As a specific example, we will consider neutral atom arrays excited into Rydberg states and we will describe the realization and probing of quantum spin liquid states - the exotic topological states of matter have thus far evaded direct experimental detection. In addition, we will discuss a hybrid analog-digital quantum architecture that can be used for probing entanglement dynamics, simulating complex models and exploring both abelian and non-abelian braiding statistics. Prospects for using these techniques to enable large-scale quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories will be discussed.
