We present a detailed study of the spatial self-organization of laser-driven atoms in an optical cavity, an effect predicted on the basis of numerical simulations [P. Domokos and H. Ritsch, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 253003 (2002)] and observed…
The measurement of weak gravitational lensing is currently limited to a precision of ~10% by instabilities in galaxy shape measurement techniques and uncertainties in their calibration. The potential of large, on-going and future cosmic…
We report on the experimental study of an optically driven multimode semiconductor laser with 1~m cavity length. We observed a spatiotemporal regime where real time measurements reveal very high intensity peaks in the laser field. Such a…
Many systems that host exact quantum many-body scars (towers of energy-equidistant low entanglement eigenstates) are governed by a Hamiltonian that splits into a Zeeman term and a sum of local terms that annihilate the scar subspace. We…
