Dipolar quantum gases represent a fascinating and rapidly evolving field at the forefront of many-body quantum physics and quantum simulation. These gases, composed of ultracold atoms with strong magnetic dipole moments, exhibit unique and tunable long-range interactions, distinct from the short-range interactions in traditional atomic gases. In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent developments and key insights in the study of dipolar quantum gases and their implications in various experimental setups, such as optical lattices and bulk systems. Moreover, I will highlight recent experimental and theoretical advancements in understanding quantum phases, dynamics, and collective phenomena in dipolar gases, ranging from the discovery of a supersolid state of matter to the realization of “extended” quantum simulators. Overall, the study of dipolar quantum gases continues to inspire innovative research directions and offers promising avenues for exploring new frontiers in quantum science and technology.
From lab oddities to technical applications: the chemistry of halogens and their compounds
Brønsted and Lewis acids represent two fundamental concepts in chemistry, each playing a different but complementary role. Brønsted acids donate protons, while the main virtue of Lewis acids is their ability to accept electron pairs. Their importance ranges from...
