Nonlinear
matter waves of quantum gases
Nonlinear
wave phenomena in quantum degenerate atomic gases have become a
field of increasing interest in last decade as atomic Bose-Einstein
condensates are becoming more available. With the possibility to
control interactions, impurities, and dissipation at ultra-cold
temperatures, these inherently quantum mechanical many-body systems
present both new opportunities and challenges for theoretical and
experimental studies. At this minisymposium we will bring together
researchers from different backgrounds to discuss the current state
of the field as well as future directions.
