Quantum simulator for the O(3) nonlinear sigma model — •Sarah Mostame and Ralf Schützhold — Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Theoretische Physik, D-01062 Dresden

We propose a design for the construction of a laboratory system based on present-day technology which reproduces and thereby simulates the quantum dynamics of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model. Apart from its relevance in condensed-matter theory, this strongly interacting quantum field theory serves as an important toy model for quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD) since it reproduces many crucial properties of QCD.
