Summer Semester 2020
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Tilman Pfau
Seminar: Thur, 5:00 - 6:30 pm
Room: conducted online - detailed information will be distributed to all participants via email.
Seminar summary:
Quantum mechanics can dramatically affect the behavior of gases and liquids. Prime examples are the influence of quantum statistics, the appearance of macroscopic coherence, or the emergence of superfluidity and other new states of matter. In this seminar we will discuss recent progress in this highly active field, both from a theoretical and an experimental viewpoint. For this, we will cover a wide range of densities, from extremely dilute and yet superfluid atomic gases all the way to the very dense droplets of quantum liquids.

Summary:
Modern atomic, molecular and atomic physics provides us with unprecedented insights into the structure of our world. The goal of this seminar is to explore recent exciting developments in this field. While the focus will be on experiments, we will also discuss extensively the theoretical background of these experiments.
Starting with ultra-high precision spectroscopy of the well-known hydrogen atom, we will learn how table-top experiments can yield more precise insights into the structure of the universe than the largest particle accelerators, how gases can be fully controlled atom by atom and how some of the most exotic states of matter can be created and manipulated.
