Quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator in a gas of ultracold atoms

Markus Greiner, Olaf Mandel, Tilman Esslinger +2

For a system at a temperature of absolute zero, all thermal fluctuations are frozen out, while quantum fluctuations prevail. These microscopic quantum fluctuations can induce a mac…

The next generation of laser spectroscopy experiments using light muonic atoms

S. Schmidt, M. Willig, J. Haack +41

Precision spectroscopy of light muonic atoms provides unique information about the atomic and nuclear structure of these systems and thus represents a way to access fundamental int…

Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates in Microgravity

H. Müntinga, H. Ahlers, M. Krutzik +41

Atom interferometers covering macroscopic domains of space-time are a spectacular manifestation of the wave nature of matter. Due to their unique coherence properties, Bose-Einstei…

Thermal-noise limited laser stabilization to a crystalline whispering-gallery-mode resonator

J. Alnis, A. Schliesser, C. Y. Wang +3

We have stabilized an external cavity diode laser to a whispering gallery mode resonator formed by a protrusion of a single-crystal magnesiumdifluoride cylinder. The cylinder's com…

Testing the Stability of the Fine Structure Constant in the Laboratory

N. Kolachevsky, A. Matveev, J. Alnis +6

In this review we discuss the progress of the past decade in testing for a possible temporal variation of the fine structure constant . Advances in atomic sample preparation, la…
