Abstract :
Strings of laser-cooled trapped ions can be precisely controlled and manipulated with coherent narrow-band laser light. The use of entangling laser-ion interactions opens up the prospect of simulating the physics of interacting spins. I will present experiments that we have carried out with small ion crystals [1] and discuss the prospects of doing experiments with long ion strings.
