Starting with the development of microscopes which enabled
the discovery of bacteria time and again, physicists have discovered and
then harnessed natural phenomena and the proceeded to use them to
open new windows of observation into the life sciences. Examples include
Making local measurements on an entangled quantum many-body state is expected to reduce quantum entanglement. However, recently it was found that in the thermodynamic limit it is possible to robustly protect quantum entanglement from continuous local measurements.
Cold atoms and ions provide one of the best ways to build controllable quantum many-body systems as quantum computers and quantum simulators. Here we report on recent developments in programming quantum simulators with focus on hybrid classical-quantum scenarios.
