"Recollections of Oppenheimer and Schwinger" Pratt Conference Room 1-2pm, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge MA The career of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was born on April 22, 1904, was celebrated in a June, 2004 Los Alamos Symposium, wherein I recalled my experiences as a Ph.D. student of Oppenheimer's in Berkeley, California during the period August 1938 to January 1942. I shall recount some of these recollections, concentrating on conveying a portrait of Oppenheimer as creator and inspiration of probably the most important pre-war United States school of theoretical physics. During a portion of this period (the 1940 academic year) Julian Schwinger, who shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for the development of the modern formulation of quantum electrodynamics and deservedly has been termed a genius, was employed as what today would be termed Oppenheimer's post doc. Therefore, especially because Schwinger now seems almost forgotten, although he died only fifteen years ago (on July 16, 1994), I also will recall some of Schwinger's interactions with Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer's students including myself, in an attempt to convey some comprehension of Schwinger's astonishing theoretical physics talents. Wed. 11/4 Joint Atomic Physics Colloquium Prof. Thierry Giamarchi, DPMC-MaNEP, University of Geneva "Disorder in cold atomic gases" For quantum systems of fermionic and bosonic particles, disorder has drastic effects. For free fermions, it leads to Anderson localization where quantum interference due to scattering on disorder transform a metal and an insulator. When interactions are present they can either compete or help the disorder to localize the particles. Such a problem has been one of the most challenging questions in condensed matter physics. Cold atoms offer the unique possibility to realize very controlled disordered systems and thus offer a unique laboratory to explore these issues. I will thus review some of the most important issues on the interplay between disorder and interactions, focusing on what happens in low dimensional systems. I will discuss the various consequences for Bosons in either a disordered or a biperiodic optical lattice potential, in the light of recent experiments in cold atomic gases, and in particular whether one can probe the existence of the Bose glass phase by expansion or by shaking of the optical lattice.
