In recent years, ultracold atoms in optical lattices and tweezers have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum simulation and quantum computing. The Enrico Fermi School’s course on “Quantum Computers and Simulators with Atoms” is designed to bring together some of the world’s leading experts in this field. The lecturers will deliver both comprehensive lecture series on the theoretical and experimental foundations of quantum computing and simulation with ultracold neutral atoms, as well as concise, targeted lectures on more specialized topics and related scientific areas.
