Ultracold Atom Physics
This summer course will cover both fundamental topics and advanced problems in
the field of ultracold atom physics, including Fano-Feshbach and Efimov
resonances, topological quantum matters, non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, and
strongly correlated systems, among the others. We believe that these topics will
help students and junior researchers from Hong Kong and aboard to quickly get to
the current frontier of ultracold atom physics and related fields. We will use
lectures, discussions, student presentations, a poster session, and lab visits
to enable close interactions between lecturers and students.
