Observing frustrated quantum magnetism in two-dimensional ion crystals

Understand

Two-dimensional (2D) quantum magnetism is a paradigm in strongly correlated many-body physics.

• The understanding of 2D quantum magnetism can be expedited by employing a controllable quantum simulator that faithfully maps 2D-spin Hamiltonians.
• The 2D quantum simulators can exhibit exotic phenomena such as frustrated quantum magnetism and topological order and can be used to show quantum computational advantages.
• Many experimental platforms are being developed, including Rydberg atoms and superconducting annealers.
