DESCRIPTION:Dr. Philipp Hauke Kirchhoff Institut für Physik\, Universitä
 t Heidelberg\, Heidelberg\, Germany\nClassical computers have an exceeding
 ly hard time describing the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-bo
 dy models. The reason can be traced back to a generic growth of many-body 
 entanglement over time\, which is exponentially hard to represent in class
 ical memory. An intriguing alternative\, commonly known as quantum simulat
 ion\, is to exploit the intrinsic entanglement in physical quantum devices
 \, which are engineered to reproduce the desired many-body dynamics in a c
 ontrolled environment. \nHere\, I will present recent advances in a parti
 cularly rewarding target for quantum simulation\, gauge theories that desc
 ribe fundamental interactions of particles. I will briefly introduce exist
 ing proof-of-principle examples in programmable quantum computers\, I will
  present promising prospects for near-term quantum simulation of relevant 
 physical phenomena\, and I will highlight the outstanding challenges that 
 will have to be overcome to achieve fully-grown quantum simulation of gaug
 e theories beyond the capabilities of classical computers.\n \nAbout the
