Since 1995, when Bose-Einstein condensation in ultracold
atomic gases has been realized experimentally, there has been a number
of further substantial breakthroughs. Today, systems of ultracold
bosonic and/or fermionic quantum gases allow for experimental control
on a very high level concerning, e.g., the underlying trap geometry and
the interaction strength. Moreover, they lend themselves to precise
theoretical calculations of their static and dynamic properties, thus
leading to highly accurate comparisons of experiment and theory.
Ultracold atomic and molecular matter can be employed to provide
practically ideal realizations of paradigmatically important many-body
models considered in various fields, such as atomic and molecular
physics, solid-state physics, and even nuclear physics. The high degree
of control over the interatomic interactions also allows to probe
quantum fluids in regimes and under conditions hitherto unavailable.
Thus, at present, the field of ultracold quantum gases is extremely
active, and expanding in many different directions. In particular, a
new area of research is forming itself on the borderlines between
atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, and condensed matter
physics.
it is also intended to initiate future collaborations amongst the participants. |
