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…

Magnetic dipolar interaction between hyperfine clock states in a planar alkali Bose gas
Y. -Q. Zou, B. Bakkali-Hassani, C. Maury +4
In atomic systems, clock states feature a zero projection of the total angular momentum and thus a low sensitivity to magnetic fields. This makes them widely used for metrological…
