Nowadays, it has been possible to achieve control of quantum systems to an enormous degree on different hardware platforms. In this seminar we will discuss a variety of experiments based on assemblies of either photons, neutral atoms or ions, that highlight their capabilities to study quantum effects ranging from high precision measurements to complex many-body phenomena.

We schedule it currently as a weekly lecture. However, we would also be happy to set it up as a two or three day workshop in September if student interest is big enough. We will discuss this on the first lecture.

The proposed topics include

Photons

• Bell inequalities
• Cloning
• EIT et light storage
• Super and subradiance
• Boson sampling

Neutral atoms

• Tweezer and atom sorting
• Quantum gas microscopes
• Super solids
• Optical lattice clock

Ions

• Cooling and clocks
• Schrödinger cat
• Trotterization in ion chains
