402-0484-00L | From Bose-Einstein Condensation to Synthetic Quantum Many-Body Systems | 6 KP | 2V + 1U | T. Esslinger | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The ability to cool dilute gases to nano-Kelvin temperatures provides a unique access to macroscopic quantum phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation. This lecture will give an introduction to this dynamic field and insight into the current state of research, where synthetic quantum many-body systems are created and investigated. | ||||
Lernziel | The lecture is intended to convey a basic understanding for the current research on quantum gases. Emphasis will be put on the connection between theory and experimental observation. It will enable students to read and understand publications in this field. | ||||
Inhalt | The non-interacting Bose gas Interactions between atoms The Bose-condensed state Elementary excitations Vortices Superfluidity Interference and Correlations Fermi gases and Fermionic superfluidity Optical lattices and the connection to solid state physics. | ||||

402-0486-00L | Frontiers of Quantum Gas Research Findet dieses Semester nicht statt. | 6 KP | 2V + 1U | T. Esslinger | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The lecture will discuss the most relevant recent research in the field of quantum gases. Bosonic and fermionic quantum gases with emphasis on strong interactions will be studied. The topics include low dimensional systems, optical lattices and quantum simulation, vortex physics and quantum gases in optical cavities. | ||||
Lernziel | The lecture is intended to convey an advanced understanding for the current research on quantum gases. Emphasis will be put on the connection between theory and experimental observation. It will enable students to follow current publications in this field. | ||||
Inhalt | Quantum gases in one and two dimensions Optical lattices, Hubbard physics and quantum simulation Vortices Quantum gases in optical cavities | ||||

Salomon (IOS Press, Amsterdam, 2007). Additional literature will be distributed during the lecture | ||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | For two lectures on special topics we will invite external expert lecturers. The exercise classes will be in the form of a Journal Club, in which a student presents the achievements of a recent important research paper. Additional information will become available on: www.quantumoptics.ethz.ch | ||||
