The Proceedings based on Guido’s Varenna 2024 summer lectures are finally ready. We cover the foundational aspects of trapped ions, from trapping, quantum motion and qubits encoding to quantum logic and analog quantum simulation. We also provide a short review of recent results on how to use trapped-ion systems as an open quantum simulators for chemical dynamics and discuss upcoming challenges on the road to scaling up trapped-ion simulators and computers. Check it out! Comments are welcome!
