Abstract:

In this talk, I will briefly introduce some of our recent works on many-body physics aspect of cold atoms. As examples, I shall introduce new “superfluid liquid crystals” phase in spin-orbit coupled Bose gases; engineering spatially modulated interaction with alkali earth atoms and the debate of ferromagnetism in strongly interacting Fermi gases.
