Bragg Scattering as a Probe of Atomic Wavefunctions and Quantum Phase Transitions in Optical Lattices
Hirokazu Miyake, Georgios A. Siviloglou, Graciana Puentes +3
We have observed Bragg scattering of photons from quantum degenerate Rb atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice. Bragg scattered light directly probes the microscopic c…
Thermometry and Refrigeration in a Two-Component Mott Insulator of Ultracold Atoms
David M. Weld, Hirokazu Miyake, Patrick Medley +2
Interesting spin Hamiltonians can be realized with ultracold atoms in a two-component Mott insulator (2CMI). It was recently demonstrated that the application of a magnetic field g…
Spin gradient demagnetization cooling of ultracold atoms
Patrick Medley, David M. Weld, Hirokazu Miyake +2
A major goal of ultracold atomic physics is quantum simulation of spin Hamiltonians in optical lattices. Progress towards this goal requires the attainment of extremely low tempera…
Response to comment by Tin-Lun Ho on "Itinerant Ferromagnetism in a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas of Ultracold Atoms", Science 325, 1521 (2009)
Gyu-Boong Jo, Ye-Ryoung Lee, Jae-Hoon Choi +5
Ho claims in his comment that our experiment is direct evidence that itinerant ferromagnetism does not exist in ultracold Fermi gases. This claim is incorrect and based on an inval…
Spin gradient thermometry for ultracold atoms in optical lattices
David M. Weld, Patrick Medley, Hirokazu Miyake +3
We demonstrate spin gradient thermometry, a new general method of measuring the temperature of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. We realize a mixture of spins separated by a mag…
Itinerant Ferromagnetism in a Fermi Gas of Ultracold Atoms
Gyu-Boong Jo, Ye-Ryoung Lee, Jae-Hoon Choi +5
Can a gas of spin-up and spin-down fermions become ferromagnetic due to repulsive interactions? This question which has not yet found a definitive theoretical answer was addressed…
