What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

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

Quantum computers, though not yet available on the market, will revolutionize the future of
information processing. Quantum computers for special purposes like quantum simulators …

We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Anderson localization of waves in disordered media was originally predicted fifty years ago,
in the context of transport of electrons in crystals. The phenomenon is much more general …

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 …

In this paper, we begin with the nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross–Pitaevskii equation
(NLSE/GPE) for modeling Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) and nonlinear optics as well …

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

Anderson localization (AL) is a ubiquitous interference phenomenon in which waves fail to
propagate in a disordered medium. We observe three-dimensional AL of noninteracting …

Elaborating reliable and versatile strategies for efficient light coupling between free space
and thin films is of crucial importance for new technologies in energy efficiency …
