Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many of you would like to say that we are in the middle of the called third quantum revolution. Ultracold quantum gases have played a crucial rule in this achievement.
Since the first experimental realization of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) approximately 24 years ago, and of Fermi degeneracy, the tunability and precision of ultracold quantum gases experiment have exponentially improved. The use of optical lattices to control and manipulate these gases has presented new possibilities in many-body physics. Due to the purity of these systems and the attainment of accurate knowledge of how light and matter interact, developed in several decades of atomic physics studies, it is possible to write down an exact many-body Hamiltonian. However, the exact diagonalization of these Hamiltonians can present computational challenges when the number of particles increase, which necessitates further theoretical research. From the experimental side, quantum gases can be used as the perfect quantum simulator to study macroscopy quantum phases with precise control of the interatomic interaction via the Feshbach resonance. Recent experiments using quantum gas microscopes contribute to the unveiling of the microscope quantum behavior behind the macroscopic proprieties of the gas.
This Special Issue focuses on novel developments in theories and experiments on ultracold quantum gases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atoms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
