Adiabatic Cooling and Quasiparticle Imaging of Ultracold Fermions in Optical Lattices

Location:Jefferson-356

A new form of quantum condensed matter physics is currently emerging from the study of ultra-cold fermionic atoms in optical lattices. Cooling these systems well into the quantum degenerate regime, and devising new experimental probes to address physical properties of interest, are key issues in this context. I will discuss adiabatic cooling of two-components fermionic gases in the lattice, and present a recent suggestion for probing quasiparticle properties from stimulated Raman scattering.
