SUMMARY:Exploring Quantum Phases of Matter on Quantum Processors - Frank P
 ollmann (TU Munich)

DESCRIPTION:Quantum fluctuations and interactions give rise to exotic phas
 es of matter with remarkable properties\, pushing the boundaries of our un
 derstanding of many-body quantum systems. Solving these problems is notori
 ously difficult on classical computers due to the exponential complexity o
 f quantum many-body physics. Quantum processors\, however\, open new avenu
 es for exploring these systems\, offering a direct and potentially transfo
 rmative approach. In this talk\, I will first outline recent progress in r
 ealizing and studying topologically ordered and symmetry-protected phases 
 using quantum hardware. I will then discuss their intriguing dynamical pro
 perties and how these can reveal quantum phase transitions. Finally\, I wi
 ll introduce a class of novel\, highly entangled quantum phases that exist
  only in non-equilibrium settings and demonstrate how to probe their stabi
 lity using a quantum processor.
