TITLE:  Ultracold atoms for quantum devices and quantum simulations

ABSTRACT: The goal of the talk is to present an introduction to the 
properties of trapped ultracold atomic gases. I will discuss recent 
progresses in their experimental manipulation, focusing in particular on 
the perspectives for the implementation of quantum devices and quantum 
sensors for high-precision measurements. The final part of the talk will 
be devoted to an introduction to the use of ultracold atoms as 
simulators for quantum many-body problems.
