Quantum simulation is transforming how we explore the physics of strongly interacting quantum systems. Once confined to condensed-matter settings, it now reaches into fundamental physics: the real-time dynamics of lattice gauge theories,  the emergence of spacetime in holography, and the nonperturbative structure of matrix models such as BFSS and BMN. Realizing these programs demands close dialogue between three communities that rarely share a room—high-energy theorists who pose the questions, quantum-algorithm researchers who design efficient methods, and experimentalists who operate trapped-ion, neutral-atom, and superconducting platforms.
Held immediately after the Fall Meeting of the Korean Physical Society in Jeju, this intensive weekend workshop is designed to build exactly that dialogue. Talks will survey recent progress in quantum simulation of high-energy and gravitational physics alongside advances in quantum algorithms and hardware, but the central goal is collaboration: extended discussion sessions will connect open theoretical problems with concrete algorithmic and experimental approaches. We especially welcome participants working at the interface of fundamental physics, quantum information, and quantum many-body physics, and we aim to send everyone home with at least one new collaboration in progress.
