This Workshop will gather world-leading groups that design, realize, and characterize a new generation of simulators with ultracold atoms and beyond. It will address novel quantum simulators of statistical gauge fields, dynamical lattices, and lattice gauge theory models (LGT), as well as connections to quantum computing and tensor network methods.
The Italian city of Trieste will host “The Quantum Simulators of the Future” workshop. The Dynamite project is co-sponsoring the event, and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is organizing it locally. The workshop will occur at the ICTP from February 20th to 22nd, 2024. Thirteen confirmed speakers will attend, bringing together some of the most influential and pioneering groups in quantum simulation

The Bose-Einstein Condensation Conference 2023 took place in Sant Feliu de Guixols (Spain) from September 9th to September 15th. Several members of the Dynamite project team took part and contribute to the biennial conference on quantum gases and related fields.
The meeting provided participants with the possibility to share the latest developments on several topics including quantum simulation with single atom resolution. Leticia Tarruell, researcher at ICFO, and Gabrielle Ferrari, from University of Trento were members of the conference’s Scientific Committee. Furthermore, several members of the Dynamite project attended the event and contributed with talks and poster presentations in some of the scheduled sessions.
Here are some of the contributions:

Quantum simulators provide unique opportunities for controlled studies of quantum many-body systems. One of the most appealing settings where these techniques may have a profound impact in the future is particle physics. In that context, the primary target are gauge theories – theories that made up the standard model of particle physics, that encompasses our understanding of both nuclear and electromagnetic forces. Finding specific realizations of such gauge theories in quantum computers and simulators has the potential to shed light on some of the most profound aspects of basic physical phenomena, in particular, for those that are not accessible by standard computational techniques
