Zusammenfassung:
Recent experimental progress has enabled cold atomic gases to be studied at nanokelvin temperatures, creating new states of matter where quantum degeneracy occurs-Bose-Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases. Such quantum states are of macroscopic dimensions. This title presents the phase space theory approach to treating the physics of degenerate quantum gases, an approach already widely used in quantum optics.
