Quantum Simulators: a Pointilist Perspective on Many-body Physics

This talk will review recent progress in optical lattice emulators of correlated electron systems. These experiments feature high tunability of the microscopic Hamiltonians and come with novel snapshots of many-body states with single particle resolution. We’ll delve into experiments that use mixed-dimensional systems to demonstrate magnetically mediated pairing. We will discuss how experiments with cold atoms help us understand a new type of magnetism discovered in moire materials.
