SUMMARY:Experiments with atoms in optical lattices\, R. G. Herb Conden
 sed Matter Seminar\, David Weiss\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:Atoms trapped in optical lattices are versatile systems th
 at can be used to model many-body systems\, as quantum computing resou
 rces\, and for precision measurements. I will explain in general how s
 uch experiments work\, and describe in particular our experiments at P
 enn State. The focus of the talk will be predominantly on 1D Bose gase
 s\, which can provide unique insights into the foundations of quantum 
 statistical mechanics. Other experiments will also be mentioned\, like
  trapping arrays of single atoms on the road to making a quantum compu
 ter.
