Extended atomic superfluids in the presence of a coherent coupling between two internal states represent a flexible platform to address open problems in condensed matter and fundamental physics. I will…
…the Festival makes science accessible, interactive, and fun, highlighting the impact of STEAM in all our lives. This year’s festival runs from October 3-9, based at the Kendall/MIT Open Space….
…systems or harmonic oscillators, it has only recently become available for complex, correlated quantum many-body systems. In the last five years, we have developed systems combining cavity QED with ultra-cold…
…entanglement. Moreover, they can be potentially exploited for the realization of robust quantum computation, as exemplified by the paradigmatic toric code model. While some indications that such phases may be…
Understanding strongly correlated quantum many-body states is one of the most difficult challenges in modern physics. For example, there remain fundamental open questions on the phase diagram of the Hubbard…
…of the two MoSe2 layers. These bilayer Wigner crystals, created from the commensurate stacking of triangular electron lattices, are remarkably stable and allow us to probe both quantum and classical…
…propagation around the sample boundary. Despite being discovered in the 1980s, many open questions remain about how such exotic properties arise. Ultracold quantum gases offer a very versatile platform for…
Accurately characterizing the spectral properties of environmental noise in open quantum systems is a prerequisite for quantitative modeling and prediction. In particular, gaining such detailed knowledge is a key step…
…cascade driven by the evaporative heating of vortices, leading to steady-state configurations characterized by negative absolute temperatures. Our results open a pathway for quantitative studies of emergent structures in interacting…
