Abstract

This article reviews recent progresses in ultracold quantum gases, and it includes three subjects which are the Fermi gases across a Feshbach resonance, quantum gases in the optical lattices and the fast rotating quantum gases. In this article, we discuss many basic physics pictures and concepts in quantum gases, for examples, the resonant interaction, universality and condensation in the lowest Landau level; we introduce fundamental theoretical tools for studying these systems, such as mean-field theory for BEC-BCS crossover and for the boson Hubbard model; also, we emphasize the important unsolved problems in the forefront of this field, for instance, the temperature effect in optical lattices.

Keywords ultracold quantum gases      Feshbach resonance      optical lattice      rotating quantum gases
