<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";color:black">Cooling and
probing matter at low temperatures has been a major driving
force for condensed matter physics. It is a proven, powerful
way to force nature to reveal its organizing principles for
quantum many body systems. The lessons learned from low
temperature physics such as symmetry breaking and
topological order have permeated into the lexicon of other
branches of physics and led to prototypical applications
such as superconducting qubits. In this talk, I will briefly
review the well known macroscopic quantum phenomena of
superconductivity and superfluidity occurring from hundred
kelvin to millikelvin, and then highlight a few milestone
achievements of quantum gases of alkaline atoms which have
pushed the temperature record from microkelvin, through
nanokelvin, and now down to tens of picokelvin. Then I will
focus on recent experimental progresses in producing quantum
gases of molecules with electric dipole moments, and atoms
with large magnetic dipole moments. Finally, I will present
our theoretical results regarding novel quantum phases of
matter in dipolar Fermi gases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
