Closing Remarks
Much is left to say about the methodological, epistemological, and metaphysical implications of analogue quantum simulation. We hope that our own small effort will serve to spur scientists and philosophers to ...

Chapter
Introduction: A New Instrument of Science?
Analogue quantum simulation is a new and powerful inferential tool whereby scientists manipulate and probe the dynamics of a well-controlled quantum system in the lab to learn about features of another quantum...

Chapter
Cold Atom Computation: From Many-Body Localisation to the Higgs Mode
A powerful and highly flexible platform for analogue quantum is a lattice of cold atoms which can be created in the lab via laser beams and spatially varying magnetic fields. The experimental implementation ...

Chapter
Emulation of Hawking Radiation in Dispersive Optical Media
is a thermal phenomenon which there are good theoretical reasons to associate with black holes. The temperature of the radiation is so low, however, as to make experimental detection of from astrophysical b...

Chapter
Understanding via Analogue Quantum Simulation in Practice
In this chapter we will apply the framework for via analogue simulations developed in the previous chapter to our four case studies. Whereas the role of the case studies in the previous chapter (and the next...

Chapter
Methodological Map**
In the last chapter we will compare analogue quantum computation and to other, more traditional, types of scientific . The guiding principle of this part of our analysis is that the goals a scientist has in...

Chapter
Distinctions with a Difference
The term ‘analogue quantum ’ is widely used in the context of quantum information science and carries with it a number of subtle and interrelated connotations. Following a standard philosophical approach, we ...

Chapter
Photonic Emulation and Quantum Biology
is a proposed mechanism in which energy transfer in certain photosynthetic processes, such as those observed in green sulphur bacteria, is enhanced by environmental noise and disorder. has been the subject ...

Chapter
Understanding via Analogue Quantum Simulation
this chapter we will analyse the sense in which analogue quantum can provide a scientist with . In particular, we will provide a framework for assessing claims of scientific in the context of analogue qu...

Chapter
Norms for Validation and Understanding
In the previous two chapters we have argued, in general and with specific reference to our case studies, that the goal pursued by scientists when performing analogue quantum computations is to obtain how-actua...
