Summary
Laser cooling technique enable us to realize ultracold atomic gases in quantum degenerate regime and open a new field of “artificial quantum matter”. My research interest is exploring ultracold atomic systems with large degrees of freedom and high controllability, which can be used to study various quantum phenomena that have been difficult to realize or observe in existing matters. Also, I am interested in “quantum simulation”, namely, physical simulation of some quantum systems which are hard to solve numerically. In this seminar, I will introduce the laser cooling, ultracold atomic systems, and quantum simulation with ultracold atoms based on my previous studies. Then I will introduce and discuss about my current project, an experimental approach to “the black-hole information paradox”, which could be related to quantum information and quantum chaos.
