DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jean Dalibard\nAbstract: Lasers are not only tools des
 igned to heat or burn material objects. With well-chosen parameters\, lase
 r light can constitute a coolant for atomic gases that leads to the lowest
  temperatures ever achieved\, in the sub-microkelvin range. For such cold 
 gases the dual wave-particle nature of the atoms plays a much stronger rol
 e than at room temperature\, and one produces novel kinds of fluids generi
 cally named as ‘quantum matter’.\n\nThese fluids can provide stringent t
 ests of the theories that were developed to describe liquid helium superfl
 uidity and superconductivity. They also allow one to address pending quest
 ions in other fields of physics\, with the emergence of the notion of ‘qu
 antum simulation’. The talk will present a few perspectives opened by thi
 s ultra-cold quantum matter\, and outline some of its potential technologi
 cal impacts.
