What the workshop is about
Performing many-body physics on a shell topology opens a new avenue in the exploration of new realms of quantum physics and would shed light on the nature of ultra-cold systems in general.
A bubble-shaped trap would offer a new topology to explore collective excitations, quantum vortices and other quantum phenomena in this particular geometry.
Recent progress in the development of microgravity BEC experiments including NASA’s Cold Atom Lab (CAL) and the NASA-DLR Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory (BECCAL) promises to make shell-shaped BECs experimentally feasible.
During this workshop, implementation schemes and future avenues in the applications of Bubble BECs will be discussed among experts of the field.
