We show that the presence of an interaction in the quantum walk of two atoms leads to the
formation of a stable compound, a molecular state. The wave function of the molecule …

We study the sampling complexity of a probability distribution associated with an ensemble
of identical noninteracting bosons undergoing a quantum random walk on a one …

We create low-entropy states of neutral atoms by utilizing a conceptually new optical-lattice
technique that relies on a high-precision, high-bandwidth synthesis of light polarization …

We propose an experimental implementation of a topological superfluid with ultracold
fermionic atoms. An optical superlattice is used to juxtapose a 1D gas of fermionic atoms …

Engineering quantum particle systems, such as quantum simulators and quantum cellular
automata, relies on full coherent control of quantum paths at the single particle level. Here …

We suggest a method for engineering a quantum walk, with cold atoms as walkers, which
presents topologically nontrivial properties. We derive the phase diagram, and show that we …

We present a technique for the precision synthesis of arbitrary polarization states of light with
a high modulation bandwidth. Our approach consists of superimposing two laser light fields …

Employing the external degrees of freedom of atoms as synthetic dimensions renders easy
and new accesses to quantum engineering and quantum simulation. As a recent …

This thesis reports on a novel concept of state-dependent transport, which achieves an
unprecedented control over the position of individual atoms in optical lattices. Utilizing this …

Quantum computing is rapidly becoming a practical technology, driven by new and
advanced quantum systems, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For neutral …
