报告摘要：Simulating quantum many-body systems represents a great challenge inphysics. I will discuss two approaches to tackle this problem. The firstapproach is to build a simulator that can mimic the behavior of certainquantum systems that are difficult to study otherwise. In this regard,cold atoms, due to their controllability, have emerged as an idealquantum simulation platform. I will use one particular example toillustrate this, that is how to simulate the effect of synthetic gaugefield and spin-orbit coupling in neutral atoms. The second approach isto develop new computational tools to simulate certain quantum systemsin classical computers. I will discuss recent effort in combiningmachine learning and quantum Monte Carlo simulation to solve quantummany-body problems.
