Description
An annual survey of the cond-mat.quant-gas arXiv category, covering research published from September 2025 – August 2026. Built on a close-reading set of 120 papers and organised into 44 chapters, it maps the year by the field's research sub-directions.
Book framework (share of the year's output):
- Non-Hermitian and Topological Phases in Lattice Systems (19.1%) — Explores topological phase transitions, non-Hermitian effects, and gauge field simulations in ultracold atomic lattice systems.
- Many-Body Dynamics and Quantum Thermodynamics (16.3%) — Investigates few-body to many-body dynamics, open quantum systems, and thermodynamic properties in mesoscopic quantum gases.
- Low-Dimensional Bose Gases and Quantum Droplets (12.4%) — Studies quasi-2D and 1D Bose gases, dipolar interactions, and the formation of quantum droplets in low-dimensional regimes.
- Ultracold Polar Molecules and Optical Tweezer Arrays (10.1%) — Focuses on the creation, manipulation, and interaction control of ultracold polar molecules and atoms using optical tweezers and microwave fields.
- Rydberg Atom Arrays and Quantum Simulation (9.7%) — Utilizes Rydberg atom arrays for quantum simulation of many-body localization, spin models, and vacuum decay phenomena.
- Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases and Polaron Physics (8.2%) — Examines strongly interacting Fermi gases, unitary regimes, polaron formation, and Fermi-Hubbard physics in various dimensions.
- Hubbard Models and Extended Lattice Systems (7.6%) — Analyzes phase diagrams, disorder effects, and extended Hubbard models including SU(N) and Bose-Hubbard systems.
- Spin-Orbit Coupled Bose Gases and Spinor Condensates (6.9%) — Investigates spin-orbit coupling effects, spin textures, and instabilities in spinor and coupled Bose-Einstein condensates.
- Vortex Dynamics and Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates (5.4%) — Studies vortex formation, turbulence, and phase diagrams in rotating and trapped Bose-Einstein condensates.
- Dipolar Condensates and Cavity-QED Bose Systems (4.3%) — Explores dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates, self-organization in optical cavities, and soliton dynamics in condensate systems.
Each sub-direction is covered across three chapters — how it framed its questions, the strength of its key findings, and its open debates and frontiers — so the reader gets a traceable picture of what this part of the field actually produced over the year.
