TITLE: Emergent Time Scales in Ultracold Molecules in Optical Lattices
ABSTRACT: Ultracold molecules have recently been brought to the edge of quantum
degeneracy. This is the new wave of ultracold physics, with wonderful
possibilities in complex quantum many body dynamics, quantum information
processing, cold and ultracold chemistry, and measurement of time
variation of fundamental physical constants, among other possibilities.
In this talk, I will focus on many body aspects of ultracold molecules
in a crystal lattice structure made of light, i.e. an optical lattice.
After giving an overview of the field, I will present recent work on
quantum entangled dynamics of a new Hamiltonian we proposed to describe
these systems, called the Molecular Hubbard Hamiltonian.
