Description

The dynamics of the early universe is influenced by interesting quantum effects like the formation of scalar and tensor perturbations during inflation. I will discuss how such processes can be investigated more closely with quantum simulation. This uses modern quantum technology like ultracold quantum gases in optical traps with time-dependent scattering length. I will also discuss further perspectives for such a research program.
