Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices
TL;DR: In this paper, an introduction to the physics of ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices is given and an overview of the theoretical and experimental advances to date is provided.

Artificial Brownian motors: Controlling transport on the nanoscale
Peter Hänggi,Fabio Marchesoni +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the constructive role of Brownian motion is exemplified for various physical and technological setups, which are inspired by the cellular molecular machinery: the working principles and characteristics of stylized devices are discussed to show how fluctuations, either thermal or extrinsic, can be used to control diffusive particle transport.

Light-induced gauge fields for ultracold atoms
TL;DR: Different realized and proposed techniques for creating gauge potentials-both Abelian and non-Abelian-in atomic systems and their implication in the context of quantum simulation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological quantum matter with ultracold gases in optical lattices
TL;DR: Using optical lattices to trap ultracold atoms provides a powerful platform for probing topological phases, analogues to those found in condensed matter as discussed by the authors. But as these systems are highly tunable, they could be used to engineer even more exotic phases.

Metallic Phase with Long-Range Orientational Order and No Translational Symmetry
TL;DR: In this article, a metallic solid with long-range orientational order, but with icosahedral point group symmetry, which is inconsistent with lattice translations, was observed and its diffraction spots are as sharp as those of crystals but cannot be indexed to any Bravais lattice.

Acceleration and trapping of particles by radiation pressure
TL;DR: In this paper, it is hypothesized that similar acceleration and trapping are possible with atoms and molecules using laser light tuned to specific optical transitions, and the implications for isotope separation and other applications of physical interest are discussed.
