Description:
In the last years, synthetic gauge fields for ultracold atoms have attracted a huge interest. This technique has been applied to Bose and Fermi gases where a spin-orbit coupling has been realized: it is foreseeable that the combined use of different ingredients experimentally available, including the use of optical lattices, could lead to the experimental simulation and characterization of (eventually non-Abelian) quantum Hall states and superfluids with spin-orbit coupling. Also the simulation of dynamic Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields will be the subject of deep investigations and intense research.
These advancements call for the contribution not only from quantum optics and condensed matter, but also from field theory and the high energy communities (ranging from non-Abelian and topological field theory to QCD and gauge theory).
This Workshop aims at bringing together active researchers working in these fields and is intended to be a timely occasion to discuss the interdisciplinary approach to the study of ultracold atoms in synthetic gauge potentials.
