We propose a method to create higher orbital states of ultracold atoms in the Mott regime of an optical lattice. This is done by periodically modulating the position of the trap minima (known as shaking) and controlling the interference…

We report on the realization of a multi-orbital system with ultracold atoms in the excited bands of a 3D optical lattice by selectively controlling the band population along a given lattice direction. The lifetime of the atoms in the…

We propose an experimental setup of ultracold fermions in an optical lattice to determine the pairing gap in a superfluid state and the spin ordering in a Mott-insulating state. The idea is to apply a periodic modulation of the lattice…

We analyze the proposal of achieving a Mott state of Laughlin wave functions in an optical lattice [M. Popp {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. A 70, 053612 (2004)] and study the consequences of considering the anharmonic corrections to each single…

We create a dark optical lattice structure using a blue detuned laser field coupling an atomic ground state of total angular momentum F simultaneously to two excited states with angular momenta F and F-1, or F and F+1. The atoms are trapped…

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a powerful tool for quantum simulation, precise measurement, and quantum computation. A fundamental problem in applying this quantum system is how to manipulate the higher bands or orbitals in Bloch…

Moir\'e super-potentials in two-dimensional materials allow unprecedented control of the ratio between kinetic and interaction energy. By this, they pave the way to study a wide variety of strongly correlated physics under a new light. In…

In order to study the interplay between localized and dispersive orbital states in a system of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, we investigate the possibility to coherently couple the lowest two Bloch bands by means of resonant…

We describe a highly robust method, applicable to both electromagnetic and matter-wave beams, that can produce a beam consisting of a lattice of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states coupled to a two-level system. We also define efficient…

We consider bosonic dipolar molecules in an optical lattice prepared in a mixture of different rotational states. The 1/r^3 interaction between molecules for this system is produced by exchanging a quantum of angular momentum between two…

Ultracold atoms in periodical driven optical lattices enable us to investigate novel band structures and explore the topology of the bands. In this work, we investigate the impact of the ramping process of the driving signal and propose a…

We create a gray optical lattice structure using a blue detuned laser field coupling an atomic ground state of angular momentum J simultaneously to two excited states with angular momenta J and J-1. The atoms are cooled and trapped at…

We present a simple and efficient scheme to reduce atom-number fluctuations in optical lattices. The interaction-energy difference for atoms in different vibrational states is used to remove excess atomic occupation. The remaining vacant…

High-resolution microscopy of two-dimensional dipolar quantum gases requires selecting individual atomic layers, a task complicated for strongly magnetic lanthanide atoms by the limited applicability of standard magnetic-gradient…

We propose a realization of a two-dimensional higher-order topological insulator with ultracold atoms loaded into orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of an optical lattice. The symmetries of the OAM states induce relative phases in the…

We propose a new method of optical lattice modulation spectroscopy for studying the spectral function of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice. We show that different features of the single particle spectral function in different quantum…

We study properties of a class of spin singlet Mott states for arbitrary spin S bosons on a lattice, with particle number per cite n=S/l+1, where l is a positive integer. We show that such a singlet Mott state can be mapped to a bosonic…

Cold atoms confined in periodic potentials are remarkably versatile quantum systems for implementing simple models prevalent in condensed matter theory. In the current experiment, we realize the 2D Bose-Hubbard model by loading a…

We describe a method of selective generation and study of polarization moments of up to the highest rank $\kappa=2F$ possible for a quantum state with total angular momentum $F$. The technique is based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation…

We describe a method to create fractional quantum Hall states of atoms confined in optical lattices. We show that the dynamics of the atoms in the lattice is analogous to the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field if an…
