Reviews

There is much of value to be found in this book. It will be appreciated not only by those seeking a comprehensive and stimulating introduction to the field, but also by seasoned researchers looking for an astute state of the art survey of the field. Michael Belsley, Contemporary Physics

This will be useful reading for students and researchers working in areas such as solid state physics, quantum mechanics, quantum optics and ultracold atom physics. -- Daniela Dragoman, full professor on the faculty of physics at the University of Bucharest, Romania

Cold atoms and molecules is a hot topic at the interface between atomic physics, condensed matter physics and quantum information. This book belongs on the desk of every graduate student and postdoc in this field, and provides an excellent monograph for the experienced researcher who wants to get an overview of the various aspects of strongly interacting quantum degenerate gases. Peter Zoller, Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck This masterpiece is a unique opportunity to learn about the frontiers of quantum many-body physics, and how they can be explored with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Some of the most talented theorists in the field guide the readers through the fascinating interplay of atomic, optical and condensed-matter physics, where old and new quantum many-body phenomena appear. Giovanni Modugno, Universita di Firenze

Author Information

Maciej Lewenstein has been an ICREA professor at the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques in Castelldefels since 2005 where he leads the quantum optics theory group. In 2007 he won the Humbolt research award, Germany. In 2008 he obtained the Advance Research Grant from the European Community and in 2010 he won the first Harmburger Prize for his contributions in theoretical physics. His interests range from traditional quantum optics through to physics of cold gases and quantum information to physics of ultra intense laser fields. Anna Sanpera has been an ICREA professor in the newly formed group of Quantum Information and Quantum Phenomena at the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona, Spain, since 2005. She is currently working on quantum information theory, physics ultra-cold gases and the interface between quantum theory and condensed matter. She is also interested in the connection between quantum mechanics and biology. Verònica Ahufinger obtained an ICREA researcher position in 2005 and moved to the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona. Since 2010 she has been a professor at the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona. She is interested in the interplay between the physics of ultracold atoms, quantum optics and condensed matter.
