The physics of quantum degenerate atomic Fermi gases in uniform as well as in
harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Emphasis is …

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are
routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

In recent years, the ability of cold atom experiments to explore condensed-matter-related
questions has dramatically progressed. Transport experiments, in particular, have expanded …

We have studied interacting and noninteracting quantum degenerate Fermi gases in a three-
dimensional optical lattice. We directly image the Fermi surface of the atoms in the lattice by …

Transport properties are among the defining characteristics of many important phases in
condensed-matter physics. In the presence of strong correlations they are difficult to predict …

This paper summarizes the experimental frontier of ultracold fermionic gases. It is based on
three lectures which one of the authors gave at the Varenna Summer School describing the …

Atomtronics focuses on atom analogs of electronic materials, devices, and circuits. A
strongly interacting ultracold Bose gas in a lattice potential is analogous to electrons in solid …

We report the observation of strongly damped dipole oscillations of a quantum degenerate
1D atomic Bose gas in a combined harmonic and optical lattice potential. Dam** is …

We explore the transport properties of an interacting Fermi gas in a three-dimensional
optical lattice. The center of mass dynamics of the atoms after a sudden displacement of the …
