Ultracold Atoms In Optical Lattices And Magnetic Microtraps

"Ultracold atoms in optical lattices and magnetic microtraps"

Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 11AM - 12 Noon in 375 LeConte Hall

Abstract

 This talk will review several many-body phases which may be realized with
 fermionic and multicomponent bosonic atoms confined in optical potentials 
created by standing light waves. The interplay of interactions and disorder for atoms 
in quasi one-dimensional magnetic microtraps will also be discussed.
