• Abstract: We propose to use ultracold fermionic atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices to quantum simulate the electronic transport in quantum cascade laser (QCL) structures. The competition between the coherent tunneling among (and within) the wells and the dissipative decay at the basis of lasing is discussed. In order to validate the proposed simulation scheme, we quantitatively address such competition in a simplified one-dimensional model. We show the existence of optimal relationships between the model parameters, maximizing the particle current, the population inversion (or their product), and the stimulated emission rate. This substantiates the concept of emulating the QCL operation mechanisms in cold-atom optical lattice simulators, laying the groundwork for addressing open questions, such as the impact of electron-electron scattering and the origin of transport-induced noise, in the design of new-generation QCLs.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution. We observe signatures of the classical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, as well as strong deviations from Kibble-Zurek scaling predictions. We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  We introduce a novel computational framework for excited-states molecular quantum dynamics simulations.

We show that only methods that can capture both weak and strong electron correlation effects can properly describe the non-adiabatic effects that tune the reactive event.
