Quantum simulation with atoms and molecules : from cosmology and super-chemistry

Quantum control of atoms and molecules embarks an exploration into novel quantum phases and phenomena. New tools to precisely manipulate atoms have led to efficient emulation of complex systems in nature and exotic quantum phenomena. I will outline the basics of quantum control, as well as quantum simulation relevant to cosmology, nuclear physics and quantum chemistry. Finally I will also introduce our new experiments to gain full control of individual atoms in a many-body system toward a universal and scalable quantum simulation platform.
