Abstract
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices represent a valuable resource for atom interferometry and for the quantum simulation of condensed matter systems, taking advantage of the possibility to tune interactions, adding disorder and changing quantum statistics. I will present a review of the work recently conducted at LENS in this fascinating field, discussing experiments with ultracold bosons, fermions and atomic mixtures in both periodic and disordered optical potentials, as well as the applications of a novel noninteracting 39K Bose-Einstein condensate.
