SUMMARY:New Frontiers of Quantum Simulations with Atoms and Ions\, Phy
 sics Department Colloquium\,   Prof. Dr. Peter Zoller\, Institut fü
 r Theoretische Physik\, Universität Innsbruck\, University of Innsb
 ruck
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, the condensed matter and atomic physics communi
 ties have mutually benefited from synergies emerging from the quantum 
 simulation of strongly correlated systems using atomic setups. In the 
 first part of the talk we give an overview of analog and digital quant
 um simulation with cold atoms in optical lattices and trapped ions. In
  the second part we discuss possible future directions: while there is
  presently significant interest in artificial gauge fields mimicking m
 agnetic fields in (neutral) atom setups to observe phenomena like frac
 tional quantum Hall physics\, we will discuss prospects of realizing s
 imple models of dynamical gauge fields (lattice gauge theories) as a n
 ext generation of possible cold atom experiments\, where the (very lon
 g term) vision is to perform quantum simulation of lattice gauge theor
 ies of QED and QCD.
