Ultracold Bose gases with variable interactions (A09)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: from 2009 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 31867626

Project A09 studies strongly interacting Bose gases as a model system within the SFB/TR 49. One focus is the investigation of mass transport processes such as the dynamical arrest in optical lattices and the current-voltage characteristics of a Mott insulator. A second focus is the implementation of long-range interactions in ultracold gases via excitation to Rydberg states. Project A09 pursuits a close interaction with theory projects A03, A05 and B03 in order to develop a thorough understanding and a quantitative description of the experiments.
