…Bose condensate of strontium emulates ultrafast ionization dynamics in attosecond laser pulses, counter-intuitively enabling the study of some of the fastest processes in atomic physics with some of the slowest….
…MIT, the atomic clock is now even more accurate. Physicists in the university’s Research Laboratory of Electronics have developed an atomic clock that takes advantage of the way atoms behave…
Francium, discovered eighty years ago by Marguerite Perey, is the heaviest alkaline atom. She succeeded in a search that started almost 150 years ago with the prediction shortly after the…
Physics Professor Martin Zwierlein has been named one of 10 recipients of the 2019 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Read the full…
…control orbital interactions in spin-polarized Potassium 40. Spectroscopy of isolated atom pairs reveals multi-branched unitary interactions, enabling a test of the p-wave pseudopotential. In quasi-one-dimensional systems, we observe a surprising…
…vortex cores, fractionally charged solitons in relativistic quantum field theory, and the spinless charged solitons responsible for the high conductivity of polymers. However, the free motion of topological defects in…
We study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) crossover in a two-dimensional (2D) array of Josephson-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. Applicable to many 2D systems, BKT theory predicts a phase transition between a low-temperature superfluid…
A key objective behind the inception of Google’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab was to accelerate the approximate solution of hard combinatorial optimization problems with quantum enhanced optimization. We have developed…
…of averaging. These results open the path to a new generation of solid-state quantum clocks and precision oscillators with performance that is competitive or exceeds that of modern miniaturized clocks…
The strong light-matter interaction opens up new possibilities of quantum technology, but also presents new theoretical challenges. To address this, we are working on four research projects: Floquet theory[1], disordered…
