A Majorana zero bound mode exists in the vortex core of a chiral p+ ip superconductor or
superfluid, which can be driven from an s-wave pairing state by two-dimensional spin-orbit …

Raman-assisted hop** may be used to realize the anyon Hubbard model in one-
dimensional optical lattices. We propose a feasible scenario that significantly improves the …

This document is a stand-alone version of Appendix A of my PhD thesis [1]. It is meant to
provide an overview of the properties of atomic potassium useful for experiments on …

Coherent control of quantum transitions—indispensable in quantum technology—generally
relies on the interaction of quantum systems with electromagnetic radiation. Here, we …

Cold atoms with laser-induced spin-orbit (SO) interactions provide promising platforms to
explore novel quantum physics, in particular the exotic topological phases, beyond natural …

A comprehensive search for broad Feshbach resonances (FRs) in all possible combinations
of stable alkali-metal atoms is carried out, using a multichannel quantum-defect theory …

We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of spin coherence properties of K 39,
Rb 85, Rb 87, and Cs 133 atoms trapped in a solid parahydrogen matrix. We use optical …

Everyday we encounter the results of discoveries and achievements of quantum mechanics
and atomic physics which were made over the last century: be it the laser diode in a DVD …

Interactions between particles are usually a resource for quantum computing, making
quantum many-body systems intractable by any known classical algorithm. In contrast, noise …

Quantum simulation offers the possibility to study quantum mechanical problems which are
untraceable on classical computers. This thesis introduces a novel platform for quantum …
