Quantum Simulation of Turbulence with Cold Atoms*

The flexibility of cold atom experiments allows them to be used as analogue quantum computers for modelling other physical systems. In this talk I will discuss how cold atoms can be used to simulate quantum turbulence, solving the dynamical quantum many-body problem in cases that exceed the capability of classical computation. The results of these simulations can thus be used to tune the density functional theories and hydrodynamic models, and I will discuss how these inform us about dynamics in nuclear systems, specially in neutron stars.
