Designer Spatial Control of Interactions in Ultracold Gases
arXiv:1803.01920 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.040405
Abstract
Designer optical control of interactions in ultracold atomic gases has wide application, from creating new quantum phases to modeling the physics of black holes. We demonstrate spatial control of interactions in a two-component cloud of Li fermions, using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to create a "sandwich" of resonantly and weakly interacting regions. Interaction designs are imprinted on the trapped cloud by two laser beams and manipulated with just MHz changes in the frequency of one beam. We employ radio-frequency spectroscopy to measure the imprinted 1D spatial profiles of the local mean-field interactions and to demonstrate that the tuning range of the scattering length is the same for both optical and magnetic control. All of the data are in excellent agreement with our continuum-dressed state theoretical model of optical control, which includes both the spatial and momentum dependence of the interactions.
