`Cold atoms and molecules is a hot topic at the interface between atomic physics, condensed matter physics and quantum information. This book belongs on the desk of every graduate student and postdoc in this field, and provides an excellent monograph for the experienced researcher who wants to get an overview of the various aspects of strongly interacting quantum degenerate gases.'
Peter Zoller, Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck
`This masterpiece is a unique opportunity to learn about the frontiers of quantum many-body physics, and how they can be explored with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Some of the most talented theorists in the field guide the readers through the fascinating interplay of atomic, optical and condensed-matter physics, where old and new quantum many-body phenomena appear.'
