Abstract : Recently,
the condensed matter and atomic physics communities have mutually benefited
from synergies emerging from the quantum simulation of strongly correlated
systems using atomic setups. In the first part of the talk we give an overview
of analog and digital quantum simulation with cold atoms in optical lattices
and trapped ions. In the second part we discuss possible future directions:
while there is presently significant interest in artificial gauge fields
mimicking magnetic fields in (neutral) atom setups to observe phenomena like
fractional quantum Hall physics, we will discuss prospects of realizing simple
models of dynamical gauge fields (lattice gauge theories) as a next generation
of possible cold atom experiments, where the (very) long term goal is to
develop atomic quantum simulators for QED and QCD.
