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…

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…

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…

Observation of a superfluid Hall effect

L. J. LeBlanc, K. Jimenez-Garcia, R. A. Williams +4

Measurement techniques based upon the Hall effect are invaluable tools in condensed matter physics. When an electric current flows perpendicular to a magnetic field, a Hall voltage…

Adiabaticity and localization in one-dimensional incommensurate lattices

E. E. Edwards, M. Beeler, Tao Hong +1

We experimentally investigate the role of localization on the adiabaticity of loading a Bose-Einstein condensate into a one-dimensional optical potential comprised of a shallow pri…
