Quantum simulation with interacting ultracold atoms: recent progress and future perspectives

A team of researchers, including Dynamite partners, provides an updated review of non-standard Bose-Hubbard models, a theoretical framework typically used to describe quantum simulators using ultracold atoms with various kinds of interactions. The review compiles recent results in the field and discusses how intriguing states of matter and quantum mechanical effects can emerge in these systems.

Scientists create vacuum-ultraviolet attosecond pulses to track ultrafast processes of natural systems

A team of researchers, including Dynamite project team members, has presented a new technique in Nature Communications capable of generating and characterizing vacuum-ultraviolet attosecond (10-18 seconds) light pulses using semiconductor crystals illuminated by strong laser fields. With these pulses, the study of ultrafast dynamics in natural systems in all states of matter becomes possible.

Showing how quantum simulators can explore otherwise inaccessible phenomena

A Colloquium in Reviews of Modern Physics provides an introduction to the field of quantum simulation of exotic geometries without a real-world counterpart. The review, authored by some Dynamite team members, highlights unique opportunities offered by different platforms and discusses the novel physical phenomena that can be addressed with them.

Many-body localization: current status and open questions

A team of researchers, including Dynamite team members, present an extensive review of many-body localization (MBL) —a phenomenon that prevents quantum many-body systems from reaching equilibrium— focusing on the main numerical results and the remaining open questions.

Introducing coherent state superpositions in non-linear optics

A team of researchers, including Dynamite team members, has produced non-classical quantum states of light, known as generalized coherent state superpositions (GCSS), and successfully used them to drive second harmonic generation —a nonlinear optical process. The introduction of optical GCSS in the realm of nonlinear quantum optics opens new paths in quantum information science, attosecond physics and quantum technologies.
