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…

Brownian motion of solitons in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
L. M. Aycock, H. M. Hurst, D. K. Efimkin +4
For the first time, we observed and controlled the Brownian motion of solitons. We launched solitonic excitations in highly elongated BECs and showed that a dilute b…
