Description
I will present the results obtained with our cavity-QED experiment, where we trap fermionic Lithium atoms in an optical resonator to perform quantum simulations.
I will focus on the simulation of random spin models with long-range spin-exchange interactions. We implement these models by trapping a chain of atoms with tunable random transition frequencies in a cavity. The tunability is achieved by locally light-shifting the excited state of the atoms. In this scenario, we studied the competition between the collective many-body physics and disorder.
Furthermore, I will discuss possible perspectives of using our light-shifting technique for the quantum simulation of holographic matter such as the SYK model.
