Condensed Matter and Solid State Physics

The interaction potential between two deuterons (d+) in solid palladium has been estimated using a theoretical picture which is well known in the physics of liquids. On the basis of this potential, the essential experimental results of Fleischmann and Pons (J. Electroanal. Chem.261 (1989) 301) and Jones et al. (preprint) can be explained qualitatively. Thus, in our opinion, the description of cold fusion in condensed matter by means of usual solid state physics should not be excluded.

We will review the realization of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms. Such devices combine experimental simplicity with unsurpassed versatility in designing confining potentials. We will show how combining magnetic microtraps with optical lattices one can realize many possible quantum systems of interest in many fields ranging from solid state physics to condensed matter. We will also illustrate new possibilities in the quantum simulation of different physical systems.
