This course provides an introduction to the area of phenomena emerging from cold atom physics.
Main Topics
Part A
- Condensation for an ideal gas of bosons
- Effects of the interaction: Bogoliubov theory of the Bose gas, shift of the critical temperature
- Condensate dynamics at T=0: collective oscillations
- Two-component BECs
- BEC in optical lattices
- BEC in a rotating container: superfluidity, vortices, analogy with the superfluid Helium
- BEC in a double well potential: Josephson oscillations, analogy with superconducting Josephson juntions
- Equilibrium properties of bosons in periodic potentials: quantum phase transitions – Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions
- Equilibrium properties of fermions in periodic potentials: analogy with the Hubbard model
