Optical response of quantum degenerate atomic gases — •J. Ruostekoski¹ and J. Javanainen² — ¹Abteilung f"ur Quantenphysik, Universit"at Ulm, Albert-Einstein-Allee 11, 89081 Ulm — ²Department of Physics, University of Connecticut, USA

We theoretically study the optical properties of quantum degenerate Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases. We show that the measurement of the scattered light could possibly show signatures of the quantum statistics and macroscopic quantum coherence.
