A quantum gas microscope - detecting single atoms in a Hubbard regime optical lattice
Waseem S. Bakr, Jonathon I. Gillen, Amy Peng +2
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in creating complex atomic many-body quantum systems. One approach is to use macroscopic, effectively thermodynamic ensembles of ultracol…
Pulse retrieval and soliton formation in a non-standard scheme for dynamic electromagnetically induced transparency
Amy Peng, Mattias Johnsson, Joseph J. Hope
We examine in detail an alternative method of retrieving the information written into an atomic ensemble of three-level atoms using electromagnetically induced transparency. We fin…
Unconditional preparation of entanglement between atoms in cascaded optical cavities
Stephen Clark, Amy Peng, Mile Gu +1
We propose a scheme to unconditionally entangle the internal states of atoms trapped in separate high finesse optical cavities. The scheme uses the technique of quantum reservoir e…
Inducing vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate using holographically produced light beams
Johannes F. S. Brachmann, Waseem S. Bakr, Jonathon Gillen +2
In this paper we demonstrate a technique that can create out-of-equilibrium vortex configurations with almost arbitrary charge and geometry in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We cohere…
Probing the Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition at the Single Atom Level
Waseem S. Bakr, Amy Peng, M. Eric Tai +6
Quantum gases in optical lattices offer an opportunity to experimentally realize and explore condensed matter models in a clean, tunable system. We investigate the Bose-Hubbard mod…
Squeezing and entanglement delay using slow light
Amy Peng, Mattias Johnsson, W. P. Bowen +3
We examine the interaction of a weak probe with atoms in a lambda-level configuration under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). In contrast to pre…
