Cooling in strongly correlated optical lattices: prospects and challenges
D. McKay, B. DeMarco
Optical lattices have emerged as ideal simulators for Hubbard models of strongly correlated materials, such as the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. In optical lattice exp…
Thermometry with spin-dependent lattices
D. McKay, B. DeMarco
We propose a method for measuring the temperature of strongly correlated phases of ultracold atom gases confined in spin-dependent optical lattices. In this technique, a small numb…
Disordered insulator in an optical lattice
M. Pasienski, D. McKay, M. White +1
Disorder can profoundly affect the transport properties of a wide range of quantum materials. Presently, there is significant disagreement regarding the effect of disorder on trans…
Lattice Thermodynamics for Ultra-Cold Atoms
D. McKay, M. White, B. DeMarco
We measure the temperature of ultra-cold Rb-87 gases transferred into an optical lattice and compare to non-interacting thermodynamics for a combined lattice--parabolic potential.…
