Gases at a temperature close to degeneration display very interesting quantum effects, such as superfluidity and superconductivity, observable on a scale that exceeds the natural scale of their components by several orders of magnitude. The current feasibility of controlling not only the temperature of atomic gases but also the interaction between the atoms, has opened a field full of expectations with theoretical and experimental challenges.
At IFUNAM, frontier research is carried out both in the generation of quantum gases of various statistics, and in the characterization of their properties in different environments. Topics currently under development include: the theoretical and experimental study of ultracool gas thermodynamics, the generation and analysis of turbulence properties in atomic gases with different statistics, the simulation of phenomena inherent to matter condensed with quantum gases with different effective spatial dimensions, the study of location and superfluidity, and the temporal evolution of quantum gases under different external disturbances .
