Metastable Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Strongly Correlated Optical Lattice
David McKay, Ushnish Ray, Stefan Natu +3
We experimentally and theoretically study the peak fraction of a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a cubic optical lattice as the lattice potential depth and entropy per particl…
Slow Thermalization Between a Lattice and Free Bose Gas
David C. McKay, Carolyn Meldgin, David Chen +1
Using a 3D spin-dependent optical lattice, we study thermalization and energy exchange between two ultracold Bose gases, one of which is bound to the lattice and another that is fr…
Evolution of condensate fraction during rapid lattice ramps
Stefan S. Natu, David C. McKay, Brian DeMarco +1
Combining experiments and numerical simulations, we investigate the redistribution of quasi-momentum in a gas of atoms trapped in an optical lattice when the lattice depth is rapid…
