• Abstract: Simulating the nature of quantum fields in diverse spacetime backgrounds offers valuable insights for the fundamental comprehension of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Here we introduce a novel method for mapping the massless Dirac equation in 1+1D curved spacetime to a controllable quantum simulation model, applicable to various observers' perspectives. We perform numerical simulations of Simpson spacetime and calculate tunneling rates in Painleve and Schwarzschild coordinates, which align closely with theoretical predictions of Hawking radiation. Additionally, we show the transition of Simpson spacetime from a regular black hole to a wormhole as the parameter $"a > r_s"$. This method facilitates the study of spacetime from various coordinate perspectives (observers), providing deeper insights and understanding.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

  "Spacetime superpositions" are quantum superpositions of different spacetimes not related by a global coordinate transformation. We consider the quantum-gravitational effects produced by superpositions of periodically identified Minkowski spacetime. We show that the detector's response exhibits discontinuous resonances at rational ratios of the superposed periodic length scale.

• Minimal quantum walk simulation of Dirac fermions in curved space-times [0.0]
  The problem of simulating Dirac fermions in arbitrary curved space-times and coordinates is revisited. A new shift or translation operator on the grid is introduced, to take into account arbitrary geometries. The new, generalised quantum walks built with this operator can simulate Dirac fermions in arbitrary curved space-times and coordinates.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
