Photoassociation of ultracold atoms induced by chirped picosecond pulses is analyzed in a non-perturbative treatment by following the wavepackets dynamics on the ground and excited surfaces. The initial state is described by a Boltzmann…
We propose a method for measuring the temperature of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice potential from the intensity of the scattered light in the far-field diffraction pattern. We consider a single-component gas in a tightly-confined…
Quantum gas microscopes have expanded the capabilities of quantum simulation of Hubbard models by enabling the study of spatial spin and density correlations in square lattices. However, quantum gas microscopes have not been realized for…
We demonstrate photoassociation (PA) of ultracold fermionic $^{87}$Sr atoms. The binding energies of a series of molecular states on the $^1\Sigma^+_u$ $5s^2\,^1$S$_0+5s5p\,^1$P$_1$ molecular potential are fit with the semiclassical…
A numerical investigation of two-laser photoassociation (PA) spectroscopy on spin-polarized metastable helium (He*) atoms is presented within the context of experimental observation of the least-bound energy level in the scattering…
We experimentally demonstrate the photonic realization of a dispersionless flat-band in a quasi-one-dimensional photonic lattice fabricated by ultrafast laser inscription. In the nearest neighbor tight binding approximation, the lattice…
We investigate the influence of a laser field, which is near-resonant to the atomic sodium 3$^2$P$_{1/2}$ $\to$ 3$^2$D$_{3/2}$ transition, on the last bound levels of the A$^1\Sigma^+_u$ state in Na$_2$. In a molecular beam experiment level…
We demonstrate Feshbach optimized photoassociation (FOPA) into the $0_{g}^{-} (5$S$_{1/2}+5$P$_{1/2}$) state in $^{85}$Rb$_{2}$. FOPA uses the enhancement of the amplitude of the initial atomic scattering wave function due to a Feshbach…
We theoretically explore photoassociation by Adiabatic Passage of two colliding cold ^{85}Rb atoms in an atomic trap to form an ultracold Rb_2 molecule. We consider the incoherent thermal nature of the scattering process in a trap and show…
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the dynamical polarizability $\alpha(\omega)$ of $\textrm{Rb}_2$ molecules in the rovibrational ground state of $\mathrm{a}^3\Sigma_u^+$. Taking all relevant excited molecular bound states…
A model for correlated electrons in a lattice with local additional spin--1 degrees of freedom inducing constrained hopping, is studied both in the low density limit and at quarter filling. We show that in both 1D and 2D two particles form…
A model for photoassociation of ultracold atoms and molecules is presented, and applied to the case of $^{39}$K and $^{23}$Na$^{39}$K bosonic particles. The model relies on the assumption that photoaossociation is dominated by long-range…
We report photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold $^{86}$Sr atoms near the intercombination line and provide theoretical models to describe the obtained bound state energies. We show that using only the molecular states correlating with…
We study both experimentally and theoretically the losses induced by parametric excitation in far-off-resonance optical lattices. The atoms confined in a 1D sinusoidal lattice present an excitation spectrum and dynamics substantially…
We study an ultra-cold gas of $N$ bosons trapped in a one dimensional $M$-site optical lattice perturbed by a spatially dependent potential $g\cdot x^j$, where the unknown coupling strength $g$ is to be estimated. We find that the…
We show that by coupling two hyperfine states of an atom in an optical lattice one can independently control two-, three-, and four-body on-site interactions in a non-perturbative manner. In particular, under typical conditions of current…
We present the measurements of the photoionisation cross sections of the excited $^1$P$_1$ and $^3$S$_1$ states of ultracold $^{88}$Sr atoms at 389.889 nm wavelength, which is the magic wavelength of the $^{1}$S$_{0}$-${}^{3}$P${}_{0}$…
Ultracold metastable RbCs molecules are observed in a double species MOT through photoassociation near the Rb(5S$_{1/2}$)+Cs(6P$_{3/2}$) dissociation limit followed by radiative stabilization. The molecules are formed in their lowest…
We present a consistent analysis of linear spectroscopy for arrays of nearest neighbor dipole-coupled two-level molecules that reveals distinct signatures of weak and strong coupling regimes separated for infinite size arrays by a quantum…
We load a Bose-Einstein condensate into a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice altered through the use of radiofrequency (rf) dressing. The rf resonantly couples the three levels of the $^{87}$Rb $F=1$ manifold and combines with a…
