Single-atom imaging of fermions in a quantum-gas microscope
Nature Physics 11, 738–742 (2015)
Single-atom-resolved detection in optical lattices using quantum-gas microscopes has enabled a new generation of experiments in the …
Preparation and spectroscopy of a metastable Mott-insulator state with attractive interactions
Physical Review Letters 108, (2012)
We prepare and study a metastable attractive Mott-insulator state formed with bosonic atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice. …
Three-body correlation functions and recombination rates for bosons in three dimensions and one dimension
Physical Review Letters 107, (2011)
We investigate local three-body correlations for bosonic particles in three dimensions and one dimension as a function of the …
Precision measurements on a tunable Mott insulator of ultracold atoms
Physical Review Letters 107, (2011)
We perform precision measurements on a Mott-insulator quantum state of ultracold atoms with tunable interactions. We probe the …
Demonstration of the temporal matter-wave Talbot effect for trapped matter waves
New Journal of Physics 13, (2011)
We demonstrate the temporal Talbot effect for trapped matter waves using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. We investigate the …
Ultracold and dense samples of ground-state molecules in lattice potentials
Journal of Physics: Conference Series 264, (2011)
We produce an ultracold and dense sample of rovibronic ground state Cs(2) molecules close to the regime of quantum degeneracy, in a …
Pinning quantum phase transition for a Luttinger liquid of strongly interacting bosons
Nature 466, 597–600 (2010)
Quantum many-body systems can have phase transitions(1) even at zero temperature; fluctuations arising from Heisenberg’s …
Interference of interacting matter waves
New Journal of Physics 12, (2010)
The phenomenon of matter-wave interference lies at the heart of quantum physics. It has been observed in various contexts in the limit …
Inducing transport in a dissipation-free lattice with super Bloch oscillations
Physical Review Letters 104, (2010)
Particles in a perfect lattice potential perform Bloch oscillations when subject to a constant force, leading to localization and …
An ultracold high-density sample of rovibronic ground-state molecules in an optical lattice
Nature Physics 6, 265–270 (2010)
Control over all internal and external degrees of freedom of molecules at the level of single quantum states will enable a series of …
