Title :
Cold Quantum Gases: when Atomic Physics meets Condensed Matter
Author_Institution :
Ecole Normale Super., Paris
Abstract :
When Bose-Einstein condensation was achieved in a cold atomic vapour, it came as a nice confirmation of the well established theory of the ideal gas. The talk will review some recent advances in the domain, and show how these cold atomic assemblies can be considered as quantum simulators, mimicking the rich dynamics of condensed-matter systems.
