Quantum Coherence with Ultracold Atoms. 330 $aThis book is based on lecture notes originally developed for introductory graduate courses offered by the authors at Dartmouth College and the University of Padova. The first two chapters analyze quantum degenerate gases and various cooling and trapping techniques for atoms. The remaining three chapters discuss ultracold atoms as weakly interacting, strongly interacting, and non-interacting coherent systems. The third chapter presents multiple pieces of evidence for quantum degeneracy in Bose and Fermi gases, followed by peculiar features such as superfluidity and the formation of topological defects. The fourth chapter addresses strongly correlated systems, discussing the BCS-BEC crossover in fermionic gases and quantum phase transitions, including their dependence on effective dimensionality. The fifth chapter offers a more specific discussion of quantum coherence in ultracold atoms and their potential as a platform for quantum metrology and quantum emulation. Four appendices provide more quantitative details of theoretical tools used in the last two chapters. Each chapter concludes with problems and a list of more specialized material. The main goal is to introduce interested students to ultracold atom physics research topics and expose scientists working in other areas of frontier physics to this novel and exciting research direction. This book is also intended to complement existing textbooks in standard courses on condensed matter physics, demonstrating how some general elements of the latter can be understood by continuously increasing the interactions between ultracold and quantum degenerate atoms under controlled external conditions. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v1034 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aQuantum computing 606 $aAtoms 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aQuantum Information 606 $aQuantum Measurement and Metrology 606 $aUltracold Gases 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aQuantum computing. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Information. 615 24$aQuantum Measurement and Metrology. 615 24$aUltracold Gases. 676 $a530.12 700 $aOnofrio$b Roberto$01783523 701 $aSalasnich$b Luca$0602994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996641272803316 996 $aPhysics and Technology of Ultracold Atomic Gases$94311408 997 $aUNISA
