Since the first experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in ultracold atomic gases
in 1995, there have several substantial breakthroughs. Today, systems of bosonic or fermionic
quantum gases allow for a very high level of experimental control concerning all ingredients of
the underlying many-body Hamiltonian. The underlying trapping geometry can be designed to
be harmonic, anharmonic or, recently, even box-like which mimics a quasi-uniform potential.
Furthermore, the shape of the two-particle interaction can be modified from the short-ranged and
isotropic contact interaction to the long-ranged and anisotropic dipolar interaction. In particular
the possibility to tune the strength of the contact interaction to basically any attractive or repulsive
value with the aid of the Feshbach resonance allows nowadays to probe quantum fluids in regimes
and under conditions hitherto unavailable. Since 2011 it has even been experimentally achieved
to also tune the kinetic energy of the many-body Hamiltonian by producing synthetic spin-orbit
coupling. This nourishes the prospect to generate for neutral atoms abelian gauge fields, as they
appear in electromagnism for charged particles, but also non-abelian gauge fields, as they occur
in the standard model of elementary particle physics. Therefore, quantum gases are considered to
be ideal quantum simulators, i.e. they are best capable to simulate difficult quantum problems in
condensed matter physics and other fields of physics in the sense of Richard Feynman from 1982.
it is also intended to initiate future collaborations amongst the participants. |
