Quasi-local integrals of motion are a key concept underpinning the modern understanding of #manybodylocalization, an intriguing phenomenon in which interactions and disorder come together. Despite the existence of several numerical ways to compute them - and astoundingly in the light of the observation that much of the phenomenology of many properties can be derived from them - it is not obvious how to directly measure aspects of them in real #quantumsimulations.

Quantum field simulator for dynamics in curved spacetime - Nature

The behaviour of quantum fields in curved spacetime is simulated using a two-dimensional trapped quantum gas of potassium atoms with a configurable trap and adjustable interaction strength.
