Fermi liquids are interacting fermion systems whose elementary excitations and low
temperature properties resemble those of a non-interacting Fermi gas. In particular,
the conduction electrons in conventional metals form a Fermi liquid, and many metallic
properties can be understood in terms of a simple Fermi gas model, as is frequently
done in solid state physics courses. The at first sight surprising immunity of Fermi
liquids to interactions is due to Pauli's exclusion principle, which follows from the
fermionic statistics. Fermi liquid theory has been developed by Lev Landau already in
the 1950s, but it was formulated on mathematically rigorous grounds only in the 1990s.

Scattering of light is one of the most elementary processes for atoms and is discussed
in many textbooks. We have performed several light scattering experiments which
reveal fundamental quantum aspects. At ultralow temperatures, light scattering is
suppressed or enhanced by Pauli blocking and bosonic stimulation, respectively. Light
scattering can distinguish a superfluid from a Mott insulator. Finally, we have
experimentally investigated whether light is coherent and incoherent when scattered
by single atoms.

Robots have achieved unprecedented performance jumps over the last decade. As of
today, however, robot design and build are laborious and suboptimal, costly and
constitute a major limitation in achieving the anticipated robotics revolution. At the
same time, we see intelligent machines that learn and perform tasks, and are able to
generalize their skills to new contexts.

The microscopic quantum world is increasingly present in our everyday lives and
technology. To keep up, we need to advance theoretical and numerical tools capable
of handling highly dimensional, coupled, and correlated quantum systems. For
molecules, this task is especially challenging due to strong, anharmonic interactions
among nuclei and electrons.

Sports occupy an important part of our lives. It is often difficult to flip through the TV
channels without encountering sports shows. Surprisingly, a large fraction of the
intriguing and often spectacular sports actions and feats can be explained using
relatively basic physics concepts. In this talk, I will present and discuss the physics
behind some remarkably creative innovations in popular sports (baseball,
soccer/football, volleyball, basketball, high Jump, gymnastics and swimming) using
basic concepts in classical physics.
