Nach positiver Absolvierung der Lehrveranstaltung sind Studierende in der Lage, Techniken zum Fangen und Kühlen von Gasen aus Neutralatomen zu beschreiben. Es liegt ein Grundverständnis für das Phänomen der Bose-Einstein Kondensation vor und wesentliche Eigenschaften dieses Quantenzustandes können wiedergegeben werden.
Topics include: Thermodynamics of Bose and Fermi gases, atomic quantum gases; techniques to make and observe a BEC (Laser cooling, atom trapping, evaporative cooling) and degenerate Fermi gases, fundamentals of finite trapped degenerate quantum gases, non linear Schrödinger equation, fluctuations and correlations, 1d, 2d, 3d systems, excitations, solitons, vortices, superfuidity, ultra cold collisions, Feshbach resonances, molecular quantum gases, BEC-BCS cross over, strongly correlates systems, Bose Hubbard, Fermi Hubbard problems, fermionization of strongly interaction bosons in 1d, Tonks gas, Kosterlitz Thouless transition etc.
