Exotic Phases of Ultracold Atoms
We explored ultracold gases with seven projects during grant support. The supported research has resulted in 18 published articles, two of which are in Nature Physics, and 25 invited talks by the PI and postdocs. One of notable successes is the project of optical lattice p-orbital bands, which has g...

We explored ultracold gases with seven projects during grant support. The supported research has resulted in 18 published articles, two of which are in Nature Physics, and 25 invited talks by the PI and postdocs. One of notable successes is the project of optical lattice p-orbital bands, which has gained considerable attention in recent years. Orbital physics of cold atoms is an emerging new topic in which, unlike most other topics, the theoretical development was earlier than the experiments. PI's contribution includes having published one of the earliest three theoretical papers that started this new field. Throughout the support period, the PI's team remains a leading research group of this subject, as evidenced by, for example, the invited talks in the APS March meeting and KITP Santa Barbara conference.
