A talk by Benni Reznik at the Workshop on Computational Complexity and High Energy Physics, hosted July 31 to August 2, 2017 by the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science at the University of Maryland.
Abstract: Can high energy physics be simulated by low-energy, non-relativistic, many-body systems, such as ultracold atoms? Such ultracold atomic systems lack the type of symmetries and dynamical properties of high energy physics models: in particular, they manifest neither local gauge invariance nor Lorentz invariance, which are crucial properties of the quantum field theories which are the building blocks of the standard model of elementary particles.
