The design of new materials with specific properties is an important but demanding challenge in physics and chemistry. Already in 1982 Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman therefore suggested to build a 'quantum simulator' in order to understand and predict the properties of complex materials by simulating them using an artificial, but highly controllable quantum system...
