Preparation of the spin-Mott state: a spinful Mott insulator of repulsively bound pairs

Julius de Hond, Jinggang Xiang, Woo Chang Chung +5

We observe and study a special ground state of bosons with two spin states in an optical lattice: the spin-Mott insulator, a state that consists of repulsively bound pairs which is…

Resolving the gravitational redshift within a millimeter atomic sample

Tobias Bothwell, Colin J. Kennedy, Alexander Aeppli +5

Einstein's theory of general relativity states that clocks at different gravitational potentials tick at different rates - an effect known as the gravitational redshift. As fundame…
