Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: A bridge between Quantum Optics and Condensed Matter Physics — •Luis Santos — Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57 V, 70550 Stuttgart, Germany

During the last few years a new research field has rapidly developed, namely that of strongly-correlated atomic gases. This new field constitutes a fascinating bridge between quantum optics, atomic physics and condensed-matter physics. In this talk I will review our recent works on the physics of ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices. I will discuss in particular atomic mixtures in optical lattices, disordered lattices, and coupled 2D gases in 2D optical lattices.
