Quantum simulation of one-dimensional systems with a solid-state circuit
Researchers have implemented an electronic circuit that can simulate the many-body physics expected to take place in one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems, constituted of either bosonic or fermionic particles with repulsive interactions. The presence of a single impurity induces in …
