Engineering a U(1) lattice gauge theory in classical electric circuits

Understand

Lattice gauge theories are fundamental to such distinct fields as particle physics, condensed matter, and quantum information science.

• Their local symmetries enforce the charge conservation observed in the laws of physics.
• Impressive experimental progress has demonstrated that they can be engineered in table-top experiments using synthetic quantum systems.
• However, the challenges posed by the scalability of such lattice gauge simulators are pressing, thereby making the exploration of different experimental setups desirable.
