Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Many Particle Cold Atom Systems

Abstract

The focus of this proposal was theoretical research on various nonequilibrium phenomena in isolated quantum systems and applications to experimental setups largely to cold atoms. All goals stated in the proposal were addressed. In addition two conceptually new ideas have emerged (Floquet systems and application of phase space methods to strongly interacting systems). These ideas were partly addressed in recent publications and partly they underlined the renewal proposal of this grant. Overall this grant resulted in seventeen published papers including three reviews (one published in Advances in Physics, one invited review submitted to Advances in Physics and one review to be shortly submitted to Physics Reports), one paper in Nature and four papers in Physical Review Letters. There are several more preprints posted on arXiv in 2015, which should be published soon/ Results of this work were presented on numerous (over fifty)invited talks at domestic and international conferences, workshops, schools as well as research Institutions across the world. Also this grant supported active participation of junior collaborators at conferences and schools.
