Quantum simulation of helium droplets with dopants
The photo-dissociation of molecule like CH3I inside helium droplet presents great interest for the understanding of recombination and salvation of photo-fragments... -
Strongly correlated electrons : from two dimensions to heterostructures
The properties of electrons in two dimensions (2D) raise fundamental questions that have been extensively explored by condensed matter theory. Extending standard... -
SPIN-1/2 AND 1 BOSONS IN OPTICAL LATTICES IN ONE AND TWO DIMENSIONS
Optical trapping of atoms on optical lattices allows the study of their behavior in the range of ultra low temperature, at the nanokelvin scale, without freezing their...
