This book gathers the lecture notes of courses given at the 2010
summer school in theoretical physics in Les Houches, France,
Session XCIV. Written in a pedagogical style, this volume
illustrates how the field of quantum gases has flourished at the
interface between atomic physics and quantum optics, condensed
matter physics, nuclear and high-energy physics, non-linear physics
and quantum information. The physics of correlated atoms in optical
lattices is covered from both theoretical and experimental
perspectives, including the Bose and Fermi Hubbard models, and the
description of the Mott transition. Few-body physics with cold
atoms has made spectacular progress and exact solutions for 3-body
and 4-body problems have been obtained. The remarkable collisional
stability of weakly bound molecules is at the core of the studies
of molecular BEC regimes in Fermi gases. Entanglement in quantum
many-body systems is introduced and is a key issue for quantum
information processing. Rapidly rotating quantum gases and
optically induced gauge fields establish a remarkable connection
with the fractional quantum Hall effect for electrons in
semiconductors. Dipolar quantum gases with long range and
anisotropic interaction lead to new quantum degenerate regimes in
atoms with large magnetic moments, or electrically aligned polar
molecules. Experiments with ultracold fermions show how quantum
gases serve as ''quantum simulators'' of complex condensed matter
systems through measurements of the equation of state. Similarly,
the recent observation of Anderson localization of matter waves in
a disordered optical potential makes a fruitful link with the
behaviour of electrons in disordered systems.
