Theoretical and experimental studies on ultra-cold atoms in optical traps

This thesis describes a number of theoretical and experimental studies on the production, manipulation and detection of ultra-cold atoms in arrays of optical traps, i. e. optical lattices for applications such as direct quantum simulation of many-body systems and quantum information processing. A me...
