Abstract
A quantum simulator includes a chamber, a light beam generation apparatus, and a photodetector. The light beam generation apparatus includes a light source, a spatial light modulator, and a lens. Each of pixels of the spatial light modulator has a rectangular shape with a side parallel to a first direction or a second direction, and the pixels are arranged at regular intervals along the first direction and the second direction. When an xy coordinate system including an x axis parallel to the first direction and a y axis parallel to the second direction is set on an image plane, the light beam generation apparatus forms and regularly arranges focusing spots such that a minimum value of a difference between x coordinate values and a minimum value of a difference between y coordinate values of center positions of the focusing spots are longer than a non-overlapping distance.
