  Quantum simulation Rydberg atoms many-body interactions magnetism and transport optical tweezers

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  In Florence, I have three ultracold quantum gases setups focused on analog and digital simulation and quantum computing with alkaline-earth (strontium, ytterbium) atoms trapped in arrays of optical tweezers and in an optical lattice. The two optical tweezer-based setups can excite atoms to the Rydberg state to engineer long-range interactions, while the lattice experiment is tailored to engineer synthetic dimensions. We are expert in high resolution optical setups, tailored light potentials via AODs and SLM.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I am interested in joining a project that includes one or more of these topics: 1) Development of experimental methods for the control of Ising and Heisenberg-type quantum spin models with local site addressing, extending to 3D systems. Study of the engineered dynamics. 2) Study of dipole interaction-driven transport with single atom tracking in topologies that mimic naturally occurring systems. 3) Investigation of methods for the generation and characterization of multi-particle entangled states enabling new applications in quantum metrology, e.g. for optical clocks. 4) Study of experimental methods for manipulation of high-capacity qudits encoded in large nuclear-spin manifolds.
