An overview of the physics of spinor and dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is
given. Mean-field ground states, Bogoliubov spectra, and many-body ground and excited …

This is an introductory review of the physics of topological quantum matter with cold atoms.
Topological quantum phases, originally discovered and investigated in condensed matter …

This review paper presents an overview of the theoretical and experimental progress on the
study of matter-wave dark solitons in atomic Bose–Einstein condensates. Upon introducing …

This book deals with applications in several areas of science and technology that make use
of light which carries orbital angular momentum. In most practical scenarios, the angular …

Trap** and manipulating ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases in magnetic
micropotentials is reviewed. Starting with a comprehensive description of the basic concepts …

In physics, wave propagation is traditionally analyzed by means of regular solutions of wave
equations. However, solutions of wave equations in two and three dimensions often possess …

An atom Michelson interferometer is implemented on an “atom chip.” The chip uses
lithographically patterned conductors and external magnetic fields to produce and guide a …

Collisions in a thermal gas are perceived as random or incoherent as a consequence of the
large numbers of initial and final quantum states accessible to the system. In a quantum gas …

Cold atomic gases have become a paradigmatic system for exploring fundamental physics,
which at the same time allows for applications in quantum technologies. The accelerating …

The phenomenon of Bose–Einstein condensation is a phase transition originally predicted
by Bose and Einstein in 1924. In particular, it was shown that below a critical temperature T …
