Quantum Gases under inflation

ORAL

Abstract

Current technology is able to construct confining traps for quantum gases of the form of closed surfaces. By expanding these surfaces at a rate faster than speed of sound, the trapped gas can be "inflated". We shall discuss the key features of a quantum gas evolve under inflation, and how interaction effects manifest themselves in the inflation process.
