Photonic synthetic materials provide an opportunity to explore the role of microscopic
quantum phenomena in determining macroscopic material properties. There are, however …

The realization of Bose Einstein condensates (BEC) and quantum degenerate Fermi gases
with cold atoms has been a highlight of quantum physics during the past decade. Cold …

Insights into complex phenomena in quantum matter can be gained from simulation
experiments with ultracold atoms, especially in cases where theoretical characterization is …

Quantum computers, though not yet available on the market, will revolutionize the future of
information processing. Quantum computers for special purposes like quantum simulators …

We report the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the most magnetic element, dysprosium.
The Dy BEC is the first for an open f-shell lanthanide (rare-earth) element and is produced …

The physics of one-dimensional interacting bosonic systems is reviewed. Beginning with
results from exactly solvable models and computational approaches, the concept of bosonic …

We show that dipolar interactions between ultracold polar alkali-metal dimers in optical
lattices can be used to realize a highly tunable generalization of the tJ model, which we refer …

This is a review of recent developments in Monte Carlo methods in the field of ultracold
gases. For bosonic atoms in an optical lattice we discuss path-integral Monte Carlo …

This tutorial is a theoretical work, in which we study the physics of ultra-cold dipolar bosonic
gases in optical lattices. Such gases consist of bosonic atoms or molecules that interact via …

We analyze the ground state properties of a one-dimensional cold atomic system in a lattice,
where Rydberg excitations are created by an external laser drive. In the classical limit, the …
