Abstract:It has long been appreciated that exactly solved mathematical models describing the statistical mechanics of interacting particles have played a key role in the developments of formerly unrelated areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, such as the study of quantum groups, combinatorics, conformal field theory, atomic physics and condensed matter physics. However, over the past two decades striking experimental achievements in trapping and cooling atoms in one-dimensional (1D) optical waveguides have provided remarkable realisations of exactly solved models in the lab. In this talk, I will describe some of these fundamental integrable models (Lieb-Liniger model, Heisenberg spin chain, Yang-Gaudin model) and their relevance to recent and future experiments on quantum magnetism, quantum liquids, quantum correlations and quantum criticality in 1D.
