Simulación cuántica con iones atrapados

Fecha: Miércoles 5 de Junio
Hora: 11h
Lugar: Sala de seminarios del Departamento de Física Atómica, Molecular y Nuclear. Tercera Planta de Físicas.  Facultad de Ciencias.
Conferenciante: Dr. Lucas Lamata (Investigador Ramón y Cajal 2013)

Resumen:
I will review the research we have done regarding quantum simulations in trapped ions. I will explain the possibility to simulate relativistic quantum mechanics in trapped ions, including the Dirac equation and Zitterbewegung [1,2], Klein's paradox [3,4], two interacting Dirac particles [5], and the Majorana equation [6]. Then, I will describe a scalable approach towards the simulation of quantum field theories in trapped ions [7], and also the realization of interacting fermion lattice models in an efficient manner [8,9]. Finally, I will propose an implementation of protected qubits in trapped ions by means of Majorana fermions [10], and present the research lines I intend to pursue in the future.
