Design of a technique to measure the density of ultracold atoms in a short-period optical lattice in three dimensions with single atom sensitivity
Martin Shotter
A measurement technique is described which has the potential to map the atomic site occupancies of ultracold atoms in a short-period three-dimensional optical lattice. The method u…
Large photon number extraction from individual atoms trapped in an optical lattice
Martin Shotter
The atom-by-atom characterization of quantum gases requires the development of novel measurement techniques. One particularly promising new technique demonstrated in recent experim…
Double well potentials and quantum gates
C. J. Foot, M. Shotter
The quantum system of particles in a double well potential is a widely studied and extremely useful example for understanding quantum mechanics. This simple system has recently bee…
Dynamic optical lattices: two-dimensional rotating and accordion lattices for ultracold atoms
R. A. Williams, J. D. Pillet, S. Al-Assam +3
We demonstrate a novel experimental arrangement which rotates a 2D optical lattice at frequencies up to several kilohertz. Ultracold atoms in such a rotating lattice can be used fo…
Enhancement of On-Site Interactions of Tunnelling Ultracold Atoms in Optical Potentials using Radio-Frequency Dressing
Martin Shotter, Dimitrios Trypogeorgos, Christopher Foot
We show how it is possible to more than double the on-site interaction energy of neutral atoms in optical potentials by the technique of radio-frequency (rf) dressing, while mainta…
