The aim of this School was to bring together both leading scientists from all over the world to discuss current frontiers of research in ultra-cold atomic and molecular gases and young PhD students, postdocs, researchers working on ultra-cold gases. The program focused on the analysis of novel quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in mono-atomic gases, mixtures of fermionic and bosonic atoms in traps and optical lattices and its applications to quantum information processing and metrology. In particular, ultra-cold gases have been used to simulate many known condensed matter phenomena such as superfluid-insulator transitions, BEC-BCS crossover, Anderson localization with unprecedented control. In addition, the ultra-cold atomic and molecular gases reveal completely new phenomena which are not possible to realize in standard condensed-matter systems, since interactions, hopping, dimensionality and temperature can be fully controlled in traps and optical lattices. The School program combined lectures that pedagogically summarize the main challenges and recent results on each area with short presentations, especially from students and postdocs. We organized a computer based laboratory to make some practice on the numerical simulations of many-body physics of ultracold-cold gases, giving particular importance in this session to quantum Monte Carlo simulations, which are widely used in the context of ultra-cold atomic physics. Poster sessions have been organized.

Abstract

The aim of this School was to bring together both leading scientists from all over the world to discuss current frontiers of research in ultra-cold atomic and molecular gases and young PhD students, postdocs, researchers working on ultra-cold gases. The program focused on the analysis of novel quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in mono-atomic gases, mixtures of fermionic and bosonic atoms in traps and optical lattices and its applications to quantum information processing and metrology. In particular, ultra-cold gases have been used to simulate many known condensed matter phenomena such as superfluid-insulator transitions, BEC-BCS crossover, Anderson localization with unprecedented control. In addition, the ultra-cold atomic and molecular gases reveal completely new phenomena which are not possible to realize in standard condensed-matter systems, since interactions, hopping, dimensionality and temperature can be fully controlled in traps and optical lattices. The School program combined lectures that pedagogically summarize the main challenges and recent results on each area with short presentations, especially from students and postdocs. We organized a computer based laboratory to make some practice on the numerical simulations of many-body physics of ultracold-cold gases, giving particular importance in this session to quantum Monte Carlo simulations, which are widely used in the context of ultra-cold atomic physics. Poster sessions have been organized.
