TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement of the Z 2 topological invariants of time-reversal invariant topological insulators realized with optical lattices is proposed using a combination of Bloch oscillations and Ramsey interferometry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel realization of Kondo physics with ultracold atomic gases is proposed, based on a Fermi sea of two different hyperfine states of one atom species forming bound states with a different species, which is spatially confined in a trapping potential.

TL;DR: The key element of this approach is a unitary transformation that achieves asymptotic decoupling of light and matter degrees of freedom in the limit where light-matter interaction becomes the dominant energy scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a dipolar quantum many-body system embedded in a cavity composed of metal mirrors, and formulated a theoretical framework to manipulate its equilibrium properties on the basis of quantum light-matter interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the interplay of quantum fluctuations and dissipation in chains of mesoscopic superconducting grains is analyzed and the results are applied to nanowires, where the results on chains of resistively shunted Josephson junctions are extended to continuous superconducted nanowire and the subtle issue of whether these can exhibit an FSC phase is considered.
