| Summary: | Ultra-cold atomic gases are formidable systems to investigate fundamental phenomena occurring in many-body quantum physics. In combination with scattering resonances and optical potentials, degenerate quantum gases provide new insight into strongly correlated systems and their characteristic properties. Notably, the admixture of impurity atoms to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has recently extended the physics of ultra-cold atoms into the area of quantum impurity problems. |
