Cold-atom quantum simulation of strongly correlated matter represents a frontier of modern physics, with broad multidisciplinary relevance across quantum condensed matter, AMO physics, quantum information, high-energy physics, and even quantum gravity.

During this seminar, we shall discuss how cold-atom systems can simulate complex synthetic quantum matter, including quantum criticality, quantum chaos and non-Fermi liquid properties, as well as characteristics reminiscent of black holes. We shall examine the equilibrium and dynamical properties of these systems under both closed and open quantum system settings. My investigations combine quantum simulations, classical simulations (high-performance computing), and analytical methodologies to uncover unexplored terrain in strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, thereby actively contributing to broad and impactful research programs in modern quantum science and technology
