Inducing vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate using holographically produced light beams
Johannes F. S. Brachmann, Waseem S. Bakr, Jonathon Gillen +2
In this paper we demonstrate a technique that can create out-of-equilibrium vortex configurations with almost arbitrary charge and geometry in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We cohere…
Probing the Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition at the Single Atom Level
Waseem S. Bakr, Amy Peng, M. Eric Tai +6
Quantum gases in optical lattices offer an opportunity to experimentally realize and explore condensed matter models in a clean, tunable system. We investigate the Bose-Hubbard mod…
A quantum gas microscope - detecting single atoms in a Hubbard regime optical lattice
Waseem S. Bakr, Jonathon I. Gillen, Amy Peng +2
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in creating complex atomic many-body quantum systems. One approach is to use macroscopic, effectively thermodynamic ensembles of ultracol…
Hybrid 2D surface trap for quantum simulation
J. I. Gillen, W. S. Bakr, A. Peng +3
We demonstrate a novel optical trapping scheme for ultracold atoms. Using a combination of evanescent wave, standing wave, and magnetic potentials we create a deeply 2D Bose-Einste…
Erratum : Squeezing and entanglement delay using slow light
G. Hetet, A. Peng, M. T. Johnsson +5
An inconsistency was found in the equations used to calculate the variance of the quadrature fluctuations of a field propagating through a medium demonstrating electromagnetically…
Can optical squeezing be generated via polarization self-rotation in a thermal vapour cell?
M. T. L. Hsu, A. Dantan, J. Cviklinski +9
The traversal of an elliptically polarized optical field through a thermal vapour cell can give rise to a rotation of its polarization axis. This process, known as polarization sel…
