Order-by-disorder phenomena in cold atomic gases
This thesis presents novel theoretical results on two cold atomic systems with particular emphasis on the order-by-disorder mechanism that they exhibit. The latter selects one or a number of classically degenerate states of lowest energy as the true ground states on the basis of Helmholtz free energ...
