Description

This one-day symposium is devoted to the informal discussion of recent topics in the field of ultracold quantum gases made of alkali-metal atoms. We would like to stimulate the interaction between different communities: experimentalists working with quantum degenerate gases, theoreticians working on different aspects of strongly-correlated systems, and experts on solitons and nonlinear phenomena.

Invited Speakers

Boris Malomed (Tel Aviv): "Spontaneous symmetry breaking in a nonlinear double-well structure"
Oliver Morsch (Pisa): "Coherent control of tunneling in strongly driven optical lattices"
Mario Salerno (Salerno): "Long-living Bloch oscillations of matter waves in optical lattices"
Anna Minguzzi (Grenoble): "Disorder and interaction effects in low-dimensional quantum gases"
Giovanni Modugno (Florence): "Anderson localization of weakly interacting matter-waves"
Pierbiagio Pieri (Camerino): "Josephson Effect throughout the BCS-BEC Crossover"
Giovanni Mazzarella (Padua): "Hidden order in dipolar bosonic gases confined in one dimensional optical lattices"
Flavio Toigo (Padua): "Extended Thomas-Fermi density functional for superfluid fermions"
