Controlling light shifts in chip-scale atomic beam clocks

Alexander Staron, Mingwu Lu, Ruwan Senaratne +4

Chip-scale atomic beam clocks are being investigated to extend the range of clock stability achievable in low-power timing applications. Here, we demonstrate a centimeter-scale, Ra…

Low Energy Excitations of a 1D Fermi Gas with Attractive Interactions

Aashish Kafle, Ruwan Senaratne, Danyel Cavazos-Cavazos +5

The low-energy excitations of a two-component repulsive Fermi gas confined to one dimension are linear dispersing spin- and charge-density waves whose respective propagation veloci…

Thermal disruption of a Luttinger liquid

Danyel Cavazos-Cavazos, Ruwan Senaratne, Aashish Kafle +1

The Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory describes the low-energy excitations of strongly correlated one-dimensional (1D) fermions. In the past years, a number of studies have pr…

Spin-charge separation in a 1D Fermi gas with tunable interactions

Ruwan Senaratne, Danyel Cavazos-Cavazos, Sheng Wang +6

Ultracold atoms confined to periodic potentials have proven to be a powerful tool for quantum simulation of complex many-body systems. We confine fermions to one-dimension to reali…

Collisional loss of one-dimensional fermions near a -wave Feshbach resonance

Ya-Ting Chang, Ruwan Senaratne, Danyel Cavazos-Cavazos +1

We study collisional loss of a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) spin-polarized Fermi gas near a -wave Feshbach resonance in ultracold Li atoms. We measure the location of the -…

Phasonic Spectroscopy of a Quantum Gas in a Quasicrystalline Lattice

Shankari V. Rajagopal, Toshihiko Shimasaki, Peter Dotti +5

Phasonic degrees of freedom are unique to quasiperiodic structures, and play a central role in poorly-understood properties of quasicrystals from excitation spectra to wavefunction…

Methods for Preparing Quantum Gases of Lithium

Randall G. Hulet, Jason H. V. Nguyen, Ruwan Senaratne

Lithium is an important element in atomic quantum gas experiments because its interactions are highly tunable, due to broad Feshbach resonances and zero-crossings, and because it h…

Quantifying and controlling prethermal nonergodicity in interacting Floquet matter

Kevin Singh, Cora J. Fujiwara, Zachary A. Geiger +10

The use of periodic driving for synthesizing many-body quantum states depends crucially on the existence of a prethermal regime, which exhibits drive-tunable properties while fores…
