DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Philippe Brantut\nAbstract:\nI will describe the us
 e of ultra-cold atoms and photons as quantum simulators\, i.e. quantum sys
 tems which can be controlled to the point that they emulate a target model
 . I will present quantum simulation in the context of the emergent quantum
  technologies\, and some of the successes obtained in recent years through
  the use of atomic physics techniques. Then\, I will present some recent a
 chievements of my group at EPFL\, in particular the interfacing of strongl
 y interacting atoms with light\, and some of the perspectives open by this
  work for the understanding of fundamental condensed matter physics proble
 ms.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nI did my PhD at the Institut d'Optique under th
 e direction of Philippe Bouyer and Alain Aspect\, before moving to ETHZ in
  the group of Tilman Esslinger\, first as a post-doc then as a senior scie
 ntist. There I developed in particular the method allowing for a quantum s
 imulation of nano-electronic devices with ultracold quantum gases.\n\nSinc
 e September 2016\, I hold the Fondation Sandoz chair in physics of quantum
  gases at EPFL. There\, my group has developed the first cold atoms machin
 e combining Fermi gases with cavity-quantum electrodynamics. We use it to 
 explore new ways of measuring and manipulating quantum matter.
