1. Gaps, Traps and Lattices - Correlations in Small Quantum Systems
Abstract : This dissertation investigates properties of two-dimensional many-body systems. Studies are performed using the Spin-Density Functional Theory with the Local Spin-Density Approximation, and numerical exact diagonalization. READ MORE

2. Theoretical studies of Bose-Hubbard and discrete nonlinear Schrödinger models : Localization, vortices, and quantum-classical correspondence
Abstract : This thesis is mainly concerned with theoretical studies of two types of models: quantum mechanical Bose-Hubbard models and (semi-)classical discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) models.Bose-Hubbard models have in the last few decades been widely used to describe Bose-Einstein condensates placed in periodic optical potentials, a hot research topic with promising future applications within quantum computations and quantum simulations.

3. Structure formation, phase transitions and drag interactions in multicomponent superconductors and superfluids
Abstract : Superconductivity and superfluidity are some of the most funda-mental and important phenomena of modern physics. However, muchtheoretical work for such systems so far has been restricted to the one-component case. READ MORE

4. Ultrasonic characterization of materials and multiphase flows
Abstract : This thesis deals with three different applications of ultrasound measurement technology. In process industries like the mining industry, the oil and gas industry, and the paper pulp industry, multiphase flows play an important role. READ MORE

5. Excitations in Superfluids : From solitons to gravitational waves
Abstract : In 1995 two different research groups observed for the first time the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in ultracold gases. When the confining magnetic trap was turned off the gas was left free to expand, and the velocity of the particles showed a clear peak: most of the particles were occupying the same single particle state, the one of lowest energy.
