Rydberg atom quantum simulators: enhanced tensor network methods
Rydberg atoms are neutral atoms obtained by exciting their outer valence electrons to high-energy states, thus very far shifted from the nuclei. As a result, Rydberg atoms effectively balloon their atomic radii by several orders of magnitude. Rydberg atoms exist in nature, such as in interstellar space, and they have recently emerged as a leading platform for quantum computing and quantum simulation for quantum many-body systems. With the support of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ETNA4Ryd project will investigate Rydberg-atom platforms, exploiting advanced numerical tensor network methods – one of the most competitive numerical approaches to benchmark experimental results – to simulate out-of-equilibrium properties of highly nontrivial quantum phases.
