Real-space detection and manipulation of topological edge modes with ultracold atoms

Christoph Braun, Raphaël Saint-Jalm, Alexander Hesse +3

Conventional topological insulators exhibit exotic gapless edge or surface states, as a result of non-trivial bulk topological properties. In periodically-driven systems the bulk-b…

Realization of a Townes soliton in a two-component planar Bose gas

B. Bakkali-Hassani, C. Maury, Y. -Q. Zou +6

Most experimental observations of solitons are limited to one-dimensional (1D) situations, where they are naturally stable. For instance, in 1D cold Bose gases, they exist for any…

Optical control of the density and spin spatial profiles of a planar Bose gas

Y. -Q. Zou, É. Le Cerf, B. Bakkali-Hassani +7

We demonstrate the arbitrary control of the density profile of a two-dimensional Bose gas by shaping the optical potential applied to the atoms. We use a digital micromirror device…

Dynamical symmetry and breathers in a two-dimensional Bose gas

Raphaël Saint-Jalm, Patricia C. M. Castilho, Édouard Le Cerf +5

A fluid is said to be \emph{scale-invariant} when its interaction and kinetic energies have the same scaling in a dilation operation. In association with the more general conformal…

Resonant-light diffusion in a disordered atomic layer

R. Saint-Jalm, M. Aidelsburger, J. L. Ville +7

Light scattering in dense media is a fundamental problem of many-body physics, which is also relevant for the development of optical devices. In this work we investigate experiment…

Transmission of near-resonant light through a dense slab of cold atoms

Laura Corman, Jean-Loup Ville, Raphaël Saint-Jalm +5

The optical properties of randomly positioned, resonant scatterers is a fundamentally difficult problem to address across a wide range of densities and geometries. We investigate i…

Loading and compression of a single two-dimensional Bose gas in an optical accordion

J. L. Ville, T. Bienaimé, R. Saint-Jalm +8

The experimental realization of 2D Bose gases with a tunable interaction strength is an important challenge for the study of ultracold quantum matter. Here we report on the realiza…
