Quantum Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Atoms

Ultracold atoms on optical lattices form a versatile platform for studying many-body physics, with the potential of addressing some of the most important issues in strongly correlated matter. In this talk, I will present experimental results on the characterization of the BEC-BCS crossover with ultracold atomic fermions ($^6$Li) and the detection of anti-ferromagnetic order in the three-dimensional Hubbard model, one of the paradigm models of strongly correlated physics.
