We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

We present a general technique for precision spectroscopy of atoms that lack suitable
transitions for efficient laser cooling, internal state preparation, and detection. In our …

Matter-wave interference experiments enable us to study matter at its most basic, quantum
level and form the basis of high-precision sensors for applications such as inertial and …

Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

Recently, Meyer and Wallach [DA Meyer and NR Wallach (2002), J. of Math. Phys., 43, pp.
4273] proposed a measure of multi-qubit entanglement that is a function on pure states. We …

We experimentally demonstrate novel structures for the realization of registers of atomic
qubits: We trap neutral atoms in one-and two-dimensional arrays of far-detuned dipole traps …

This stimulating discussion of a rapidly developing field is divided into two parts. The first
features tutorials in textbook style providing self-contained introductions to the various areas …

We propose the use of quantum optical systems to perform universal simulation of quantum
dynamics. Two specific implementations that require present technology are put forward for …

We develop a scheme for quantum computation with neutral atoms, based on the concept of
“marker” atoms, ie, auxiliary atoms that can be efficiently transported in state-independent …

We first consider an exactly solvable classical field model to understand the coherence
properties and the density fluctuations of a one-dimensional (1D) weakly interacting …
