Zoller Theoretische Physik, Universität Innsbruck, Austria Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Innsbruck, Austria M. Hermele and M.P.A. Fisher KITP, Santa Barbara

2 Atomic quantum gases Bose-Einstein condensation - Gross-Pitaevskii equation - non-linear dynamics control and tunability Quantum degenerate dilute atomic gases of fermions and bosons Rotating condensates - vortices - fractional quantum Hall Molecules - Feshbach resonances - BCS-BEC crossover - dipolar gases Optical lattices - quantum information - Hubbard models - strong correlations - exotic phases

3 Atomic gases in an optical lattice Preparation - lattice loading schemes - controlled single particle manipulations (entanglement) - decoherence of qubits Ring exchange interaction Thermodynamics b 4 b 3 - Hubbard models - design of Hamiltonians - strongly correlated many-body systems b 1 b 2 Measurement - momentum distribution - structure factor - pairing gap -... Exotic phases?
