SUMMARY:Exploring big questions on small scales
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Eugene Demler\, Harvard\nHosted by: David Campbell\nP
	oster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/get/022316-Demler.pdf\n\nPart 
	of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract: \nUltracold atoms 
	provide a new platform for studying fundamental problems of quantum and sta
	tistical physics. Unique features of ultracold atoms include the ability to
	 tune parameters dynamically over a broad range\, excellent isolation from 
	the environment\, and the availability of the rich experimental toolbox of 
	atomic physics. I will give examples of recent and ongoing studies done wit
	h ultracold atoms which address such questions as the existence of Higgs ex
	citations in low dimensional systems\, measurements of topological invarian
	ts\, and the dynamics of polaron formation in Bose and Fermi systems.
