Bose-Einstein Condensation
Cornell et al., Science 269, 198 (1995)
Ultralow density condensed matter system
Interactions are weak and can be described theoretically from first principles

New Era in Cold Atoms Research
• Optical lattices
• Feshbach resonances
• Rotating condensates
• One dimensional systems
• Systems with long range dipolar interactions
Focus on systems with strong interactions

QHE in rotating BEC
It is difficult to reach small filling factors
- scattering length
Current experiments: Schweikhard et al., PRL 92:40404 (2004)
Small energies in the QH regime require very low temperatures
This work: Use optical lattices
