Lecturer: Dr. Erez Zohar Affiliation: Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik Abstract: Over the last years, ideas, concepts and techniques from quantum optics and quantum information have been applied and generalized for the study of many body physics, mostly for condensed matter problems but, recently, for high energy physics as well. In my talk, I will describe such approaches for the study of lattice many body systems with a local symmetry - lattice gauge theories: quantum simulation with ultracold atoms in optical lattices, as well as tensor network calculations, demonstrating the possible uses of such methods for the study of quantum many body systems. ‏האירוע הזה כולל שיחת וידאו ב-Google Hangouts. הצטרף: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/mail.huji.ac.il/condensed?hceid=bWFpb...
