Phonon excitations of Floquet-driven superfluids in a tilted optical lattice
Interactions in Floquet-driven quantum gases cause unwanted heating and excitation modes. We found a general set of resonance conditions that explain this ‘‘Floquet heating’’ for superfluids in optical lattices. Phys. Rev. Research 6, 023323 (2024).
Commensurate and incommensurate 1D interacting quantum systems
We use dynamically varying microscopic light potentials in a quantum-gas microscope to study commensurate and incommensurate 1D systems of interacting bosonic atoms in an optical lattice Nat Communications 15, 474 (2024).
Instabilities of driven matter waves with interactions
We studied the stability of a Bosonic quantum gas in a 1D optical lattice with periodic driving, Phys. Rev. Research 5, 033024 (2023).
