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…
Observation of dynamical topology in 1D
G. H. Reid, Mingwu Lu, A. R. Fritsch +2
Nontrivial topology in lattices is characterized by invariants--such as the Zak phase for one dimensional (1D) lattices--derived from wave functions covering the Brillouin zone. We…
Floquet engineering topological Dirac bands
Mingwu Lu, G. H. Reid, A. R. Fritsch +2
We experimentally realized a time-periodically modulated 1D lattice for ultracold atoms featuring a pair of linear bands, each associated with a Floquet winding number: a topologic…
Creating solitons with controllable and near zero velocity in Bose-Einstein condensates
A. R. Fritsch, Mingwu Lu, G. H. Reid +2
Established techniques for deterministically creating dark solitons in repulsively interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) can only access a narrow range of soliton vel…
Exceeding the Sauter-Schwinger limit of pair production with a quantum gas
Alina M. Piñeiro Escalera, Dina Genkina, Mingwu Lu +1
We quantum-simulated particle-antiparticle pair production with a bosonic quantum gas in an optical lattice by emulating the requisite 1d Dirac equation and uniform electric field.…
Imaging topology of Hofstadter ribbons
Dina Genkina, Lauren M. Aycock, Hsin-I Lu +3
Physical systems with non-trivial topological order find direct applications in metrology[1] and promise future applications in quantum computing[2,3]. The quantum Hall effect deri…
Atom-atom interactions around the band edge of a photonic crystal waveguide
J. D. Hood, A. Goban, A. Asenjo-Garcia +4
Tailoring the interactions between quantum emitters and single photons constitutes one of the cornerstones of quantum optics. Coupling a quantum emitter to the band edge of a photo…
Fermionic suppression of dipolar relaxation: Observation of universal inelastic dipolar scattering
Nathaniel Q. Burdick, Kristian Baumann, Yijun Tang +2
We observe the suppression of inelastic dipolar scattering in ultracold Fermi gases of the highly magnetic atom dysprosium: the more energy that is released, the less frequently th…
Observation of low-field Fano-Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases of dysprosium
Kristian Baumann, Nathaniel Q. Burdick, Mingwu Lu +1
We report the observation of resonance-like loss in the trap population of ultracold dysprosium as a function of magnetic field, which we attribute to anisotropy-induced Fano-Feshb…
Quantum degenerate dipolar Fermi gas
Mingwu Lu, Nathaniel Q. Burdick, Benjamin L. Lev
The interplay between crystallinity and superfluidity is of great fundamental and technological interest in condensed matter settings. In particular, electronic quantum liquid crys…
A Strongly Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensate of Dysprosium
Mingwu Lu, Nathaniel Q. Burdick, Seo Ho Youn +1
We report the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the most magnetic atom, dysprosium. The Dy BEC is the first for an open f-shell lanthanide (rare-earth) element and is produced vi…
Spectroscopy of a narrow-line laser cooling transition in atomic dysprosium
Mingwu Lu, Seo Ho Youn, Benjamin L. Lev
The laser cooling and trapping of ultracold neutral dysprosium has been recently demonstrated using the broad, open 421-nm cycling transition. Narrow-line magneto-optical trapping…
Dysprosium magneto-optical traps
Seo Ho Youn, Mingwu Lu, Ushnish Ray +1
Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) of highly magnetic lanthanides open the door to explorations of novel phases of strongly correlated matter such as lattice supersolids and quantum liqu…
Anisotropic sub-Doppler laser cooling in dysprosium magneto-optical traps
Seo Ho Youn, Mingwu Lu, Benjamin L. Lev
Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) of Er and Dy have recently been shown to exhibit population-wide sub-Doppler cooling due to their near degeneracy of excited and ground state Lande g f…
Trapping ultracold dysprosium: a highly magnetic gas for dipolar physics
Mingwu Lu, Seo Ho Youn, Benjamin L. Lev
Ultracold dysprosium gases, with a magnetic moment ten times that of alkali atoms and equal only to terbium as the most magnetic atom, are expected to exhibit a multitude of fascin…
