Gauge matters: Observing the vortex-nucleation transition in a Bose condensate
L. J. LeBlanc, K. Jiménez-García, R. A. Williams +3
The order parameter of a quantum-coherent many-body system can include a phase degree of freedom, which, in the presence of an electromagnetic field, depends on the choice of gauge…
Tunable Spin-Orbit Coupling via Strong Driving in Ultracold Atom Systems
K. Jiménez-García, L. J. LeBlanc, R. A. Williams +5
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is an essential ingredient in topological materials, conventional and quantum-gas based alike.~Engineered spin-orbit coupling in ultracold atom systems --…
A Raman-induced Feshbach resonance in an effectively single-component Fermi gas
R. A. Williams, M. C. Beeler, L. J. LeBlanc +2
Ultracold gases of interacting spin-orbit coupled fermions are predicted to display exotic phenomena such as topological superfluidity and its associated Majorana fermions. Here, w…
The spin Hall effect in a quantum gas
M. C. Beeler, R. A. Williams, K. Jiménez-García +3
Electronic properties like current flow are generally independent of the electron's spin angular momentum, an internal degree of freedom present in quantum particles. The spin Hall…
Direct observation of zitterbewegung in a Bose-Einstein condensate
L. J. LeBlanc, M. C. Beeler, K. Jimenez-Garcia +4
Zitterbewegung, a force-free trembling motion first predicted for relativistic fermions like electrons, was an unexpected consequence of the Dirac equation's unification of quantum…
The Peierls substitution in an engineered lattice potential
K. Jiménez-García, L. J. LeBlanc, R. A. Williams +3
Artificial gauge fields open new possibilities to realize quantum many-body systems with ultracold atoms, by engineering Hamiltonians usually associated with electronic systems. In…
