Abstract
Cold atoms have emerged as a new and exciting platform to study thephysics of strongly interacting quantum many body systems relevant tocondensed matter physics. In this talk I will discuss how dynamics of coldatoms close to equilibrium can be used to reveal many body correlationsand detect novel phases in these systems. I will also discuss the dynamicsof these systems far from equilibrium, focusing on the relaxation of highenergy excitations in Fermionic systems.
