Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

This report addresses topics and questions of common interest in the fields of ultra-cold
gases and nuclear physics in the context of the BCS–BEC crossover. By this crossover, the …

Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work both in the classical and
quantum regimes. However, quantum theory offers genuine non-classical forms of energy …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly develo** field of …

Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in
ultracold quantum gases. They have found numerous experimental applications, opening up …

This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body
phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases. It focuses on effects beyond standard weak-coupling …

Since the realization of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in optical potentials,
intensive experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out for bright and …

We introduce a new approach to create and detect Majorana fermions using optically
trapped 1D fermionic atoms. In our proposed setup, two internal states of the atoms couple …

Compared to atoms, molecules possess additional degrees of freedom that can be exploited
in fundamental tests, ultracold chemistry, and engineering new quantum phases in many …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …
