We report the observation of strongly ferromagnetic $F=1$ spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of $^7$Li atoms. The condensates are generated in an optical dipole trap without using magnetic Feshbach resonances, so that the condensates have…
Luttinger liquid theory accounts for the low energy boson excitations of one-dimensional quantum liquids, but disregards the high energy excitations. The most important high energy excitations are holes which have infinite lifetime at zero…

We explore the scattering dynamics of classical Coulomb-interacting clusters of ions confined to a helical geometry. Ion clusters of equally charged particles constrained to a helix can form many-body bound states, i.e. they exhibit stable…
We investigate the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate of magnetic atoms in which the dipoles are rotated by an external magnetic field. The time-averaged dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms is effectively tuned by this rotation,…
