The Physics of Dilute Quantum Gases

[0109255]该奖项支持基础理论研究，以研究新的稀量子气体系统，这些系统是由JILA和麻省理工学院最近的实验实现的。项目包括研究标量和旋量极限下的玻色子和费米子的物理学（即磁阱和光阱），量子气体混合物的物理学，光学晶格和快速旋转状态下的多体效应，以及强相互作用极限下的动力学，即在闪回共振附近。这项拨款支持理论研究，以研究新的稀量子气体系统的广泛物理学，这些系统是由JILA和麻省理工学院最近的实验所实现的。这些实验第一次能够创造出一种新的物质状态，即玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚物，这是许多年前预测到的。PI将研究这些稀释量子气体系统中的广泛现象。重点将放在这些系统的基本新方面，强相互作用的影响，多体效应和可能的应用。该奖项还支持凝聚态理论的研究生水平教育

0109255HoThis award supports fundamental theoretical research to study the new dilute quantum gas systems which have been made possible by recent experiments at JILA and MIT. Projects include studying the physics of Bosons and Fermions in scalar and spinor limits (i.e. in magnetic and optical traps), the physics of mixtures of quantum gases, many-body effects in optical lattices and in the fast rotating regime, and the dynamics in the strongly interacting limit, i.e. near the Feshback resonance. %%%This grant supports theoretical research to study a wide range of physics in new dilute quantum gas systems which have been made possible by recent experiments at JILA and MIT. These experiments have, for the first time, been able to create a new state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, which was predicted many years ago. The PI will investigate a wide range of phenomena in these dilute quantum gas systems. The emphasis will be on fundamentally new aspects of these systems, effects of strong interaction, many-body effects and possible applications. This award also supports graduate level education in condensed matter theory.***
