Title: "Quantum simulation with neutral atoms"

Abstract: In the past three decades, quantum gases have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum simulation. In this lecture, we will introduce the basic technologies and concepts of this field. Then, through a series of milestone examples, we will show how the cold atom community has been able to simulate increasingly complex quantum systems.
