Organizers:  Elisa Baumer (IBM, Zurich, Switzerland), Francesco Pederiva (University of Trento, Italy), Federica Surace (Caltech, Pasadena, USA) and Xiaojun Yao (IQuS, University of Washington, Seattle, USA).

This workshop focuses on co-designing quantum simulations for fundamental physics in the fault-tolerant era. Recent experiments demonstrate utilities of an array of quantum error correction codes and fault-tolerant qubits, which will play a significant role in large-scale quantum simulations. We intend to brainstorm and design a strategic path towards quantum simulations of physical systems. We will bring together researchers from different communities including high energy, nuclear, condensed matter, quantum information and quantum computing, to map out strategic plans. The workshop is designed to have a light schedule in terms of talks and facilitate extensive discussions and collaborations among small and large groups of researchers.
