Coherent destruction of tunneling and synthetic gauge fields in trapped ions
Diego Porras
Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
In this talk, we will review a few ideas on how to use the vibrational
modes of trapped ions to simulate the physics of interacting bosons. In
particular, we can show that by using periodic drivings of the trapping
frequencies, a variety of interesting phenomena from Condensed Matter
physics may be observed, such as analogs of the Quantum Hall effect, and
analogs of electron tunneling under periodic drivings.
