Here comes the second part of our quantum simulation special: Helene Hainzer (IQOQI Innsbruck) shares with us how to plan and set up a new quantum experiment, what two-dimensional crystals are, and how to use them to perform an analog quantum simulation. We talk about the prospects of quantum simulation and the curiosity-driven side of fundamental sciences, the coolest moment in life, and artistic passions.
