SUMMARY:Exploring long-range interactions in quantum gases
DESCRIPTION:Advances in the manipulation of ultracold atomic gases are opening new frontiers in the quest to better understand strongly correlated matter. By exploiting long-range and anisotropic interactions in these systems, one can start to create novel forms of quantum matter.
I will present experiments performed with a Bose-Einstein condensate in an high-finesse optical cavity which induces effective long-range interaction between the atoms. We have observed a zero-temperature phase transition in this system, which is equivalent to the Dicke phase transition. In the second part of my talk, I will report on experiments with ultra-cold dysprosium, a rare-earth element possessing the largest magnetic moment of 10 Bohr magnetons. I will present recent data on scattering resonances, both for bosonic and fermionic isotopes.
