These achievements have lead to a series of exciting new developments. To identify the physical principles at work in these exotic quantum gases and to unravel their consequences, it is an urgent matter to develop an accurate microscopic theory that is capable of directing and analysing future experiments. This VICI proposal is aimed at achieving this goal. \n\nFirst, we intend to develop a complete theory for the exotic quantum gases that is able to deal with both the equilibrium and the nonequilibrium behaviour of the gas. Subsequently, we will apply the theory under realistic experimental conditions. Due to the inhomogeneity of the trapped atomic gases and the great importance of the interactions between the atoms, this is clearly a challenging theoretical task. In view of our previous experience with Bose-Einstein condensed gases and of our collaborations with the leading experimental groups in this field, we believe that we are in a unique position to carry out this task successfully within the time frame of the present VICI proposal. Our interest in the exotic quantum gases is primarily curiosity driven, but the outcome of this proposal is also potentially important for a number of applications, such as atom lithography, the building of an atom laser, and quantum computing.", "summary_en": "Recent advances in the experimental control of ultracold atomic gases have enabled the creation of ‘new states of matter’ that have never been observed before.
