We use samples of atoms cooled to ultralow temperatures below hundred nanokelvin, such that their motion is governed by quantum mechanics, in order to either prepare minimal models of natural electronic many-body systems or to form entirely new types of many-body scenarios, which do not exist in electronic matter. Both strategies are motivated by the desire to increase our understanding of quantum many-body physics. Our present research covers topics such as optical lattices with orbital degrees of freedom, topological optical lattices, ultracold atoms in optical high finesse cavities. We also employ cold atomic samples to explore new concepts for quantum metrology such as superradiant lasing.
