Many light-induced processes in biomolecules, such as energy relaxation, energy/charge transfer and conformational changes, occur on ultrafast timescales, ranging from 10-14 to 10-13 s.

Progress in physics and quantum information science motivates much recent study of the behavior of extensively-entangled many-body quantum systems fully isolated from their environment, and thus undergoing unitary time evolution.

A system of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice is an ideal quantum simulator of a strongly correlated quantum many-body system and also a topological quantum system due to the high-controllability of system parameters.
