A collective spin model is used to describe two species of mutually interacting ultracold bosonic atoms confined to a toroidal trap. The system is modeled by a Hamiltonian that can be split into two components, a linear part and a quadratic…
The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) affecting the center of mass of ultracold atoms can be simulated using a properly chosen periodic sequence of magnetic pulses. Yet such a method is generally accompanied by micro-motion which hinders a precise…
We provide an overview of experiments exploring resonances in the collision of ultracold clouds of atoms. Using a laser-based accelerator that capitalizes on the energy resolution provided by the ultracold atomic setting, we unveil…
We implement two types of matter-wave interferometers using trapped Bose-condensed Feshbach molecules, from weak to strong interactions. In each case, we focus on investigating interaction effects and their implications for the performance.…
This work theoretically investigates \textcolor{black}{the stationary properties} and the dynamics of the rotating quantum liquid droplets confined in a two-dimensional symmetric anharmonic trap. Mimicking the quantum Hall systems, the…
Programmable quantum devices are now able to probe wave functions at unprecedented levels. This is based on the ability to project the many-body state of atom and qubit arrays onto a measurement basis which produces snapshots of the system…
The study of state-to-state spin-exchange collisions in the vicinity of $p$-wave Feshbach resonances offer great opportunities to explore many-body interactions and novel quantum phases. Here, we report the observation of a spin-exchange…
An advanced cooling scheme, incorporating entropy engineering, is vital for isolated artificial quantum systems designed to emulate the low-temperature physics of strongly correlated electron systems (SCESs). This study theoretically…
When the Fermi Hubbard model was first introduced sixty years ago, one of the original motivations was to understand correlation effects in itinerant ferromagnetism. In the past two decades, ultracold Fermi gas in an optical lattice has…
We study transport in the one-dimensional mass-imbalanced Fermi-Hubbard model at infinite temperature, focusing on the case of strong interactions. Prior theoretical and experimental investigations have revealed unconventionally long…
We have observed the spontaneous appearance of currents in a ring of ultracold fermionic atoms (6Li) with attractive interactions, following a quench to a BCS-like pair superfluid. We have measured the winding number probability…
Motivated by the experimental observation of spin-charge separation in one-dimensional interacting Fermi gases, we investigate these systems in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and Rabi fields. We demonstrate that spin-charge-separated…
The competition of different length scales in quantum many-body systems leads to various novel phenomena, including the emergence of correlated dynamics or non-local order. To access and investigate such effects in an itinerant…
Understanding the interface dynamics in non-equilibrium quantum systems remains a challenge. We study the interface dynamics of strongly coupled immiscible binary superfluids by using holographic duality. The full nonlinear evolution of the…
Experimental progress in atomic, molecular, and optical platforms in the last decade has stimulated strong and broad interest in the quantum coherent dynamics of many long-range interacting particles. The prominent collective character of…
It is well known that non-Hermitian, non-reciprocal systems may harbor exponentially localized skin modes. However, in this work, we find that, generically, non-Hermiticity gives rise to abrupt and prominent kinks in the semi-classical wave…
A fundamental problem of out-of-equilibrium physics is the speed at which the order parameter grows upon crossing a phase transition. Here, we investigate the dynamics of ordering in a Fermi gas undergoing a density-wave phase transition…
A planar superfluid is considered and interpreted in terms of electromagnetism and gravity. It has previously been suggested that the superfluid flow can be regarded as analogous to an electromagnetic field and that a non-vanishing density…
We investigate self-localization of a polaron in a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate in one dimension. This effect, where an impurity is trapped by the deformation that it causes in the surrounding Bose gas, has been first predicted by…
We implement an experimental architecture in which a single atom of K is trapped in an optical tweezer, and is immersed in a bath of Rb atoms at ultralow temperatures. In this regime, the motion of the single trapped atom is confined to the…
