Quantum Gas in a Box

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ruize Li .

Ultracold atomic gases, cooled to nanokelvin temperatures, are the coldest things in the universe. They are used with great success to study phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity. Traditionally they were produced in harmonic traps and were thus inhomogeneous, but now we can also create homogeneous gases in optical box traps, made of sculpted laser light. This improves links with many-body theories and other areas of physics, and sometimes also allows qualitatively new experiments. I will illustrate this with some examples ranging from an undergraduate-level experimental surprise to our most recent studies of far-from-equilibrium quantum phenomena.
