Since the achievement of quantum degeneracy in gases of chromium atoms in 2004, the
experimental investigation of ultracold gases made of highly magnetic atoms has …

Artificial gauge fields are currently realized in a wide range of physical settings. This
includes solid-state devices but also engineered systems, such as photonic crystals …

Supersolidity combines superfluid flow with long-range spatial periodicity of solids, two
properties that are often mutually exclusive. The original discussion of quantum crystals and …

Strontium optical lattice clocks have the potential to simultaneously interrogate millions of
atoms with a high spectroscopic quality factor of 4× 1017. Previously, atomic interactions …

Isolated quantum many-body systems with integrable dynamics generically do not
thermalize when taken far from equilibrium. As one perturbs such systems away from the …

We demonstrate a novel way of synthesizing spin-orbit interactions in ultracold quantum
gases, based on a single-photon optical clock transition coupling two long-lived electronic …

Engineered spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in cold-atom systems can enable the study of new
synthetic materials and complex condensed matter phenomena,,,,,,,. However, spontaneous …

We report on the first realization of a novel neutral atom qubit encoded in the spin-orbit
coupled metastable states P 0 3 and P 2 3 of a single Sr 88 atom trapped in an optical …

Laser cooling exploits the physics of light scattering to cool atomic and molecular gases to
close to absolute zero. It is the crucial initial step for essentially all atomic gas experiments in …

Symmetry plays a fundamental role in understanding complex quantum matter, particularly
in classifying topological quantum phases, which have attracted great interests in the recent …
