Description

This two-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.

Invited Speakers

Francesco Ancilotto (Padova): "Supersolid structure and excitation spectrum of soft-core bosons in 3D"
Roberta Citro (Salerno): "Phase diagram of interacting Bose gases in one dimensional disordered optical lattice"
Franco Dalfovo (Trento): "Nucleation and decay of solitons in Bose and Fermi gases"
Stefania De Palo (Trieste): "QMC simulations for strongly interacting fermions in two dimensions"
Davide Galli (Milano): "Quantum Monte Carlo study of dynamic properties of ultracold gases"
Fabrizio Illuminati (Salerno): "Quantum simulation with trapped ions: from long-distance entanglement to frustration and exotic phases of matter"
Francesco Minardi (Firenze): "Mobile impurities in one-dimensional cold gases"

Oliver Morsch (Pisa): "Full counting statistics of a dissipative Rydberg gas"
Massimo Palma (Palermo): "Polarons in two components Bose Einstein condensates"
Saverio Pascazio (Bari): "Nonexponential decay of Feshbach molecules"
