We study the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition of a mixture of heavy bosons and light
fermions loaded in an optical lattice. We focus on the effect of the light fermions on the …

The static and dynamic polarizabilities and the tune-out wavelengths of the ground state of
Rb and the hyperfine ground states of Rb 87, 85 have been calculated by using the …

Figure 1:(a),(b) Schematic illustrations of one of many possible configurations of the three-
body cluster at low and high temperature, respectively. At low T, only a few configurations …

Accurate values for atomic dipole matrix elements are useful in many areas of physics, and
in particular for interpreting experiments such as atomic parity violation. Obtaining accurate …

We have measured the tune-out wavelength of lithium isotope Li 7 at 671 nm. We have used
our atom interferometer to measure the phase shift due to the dynamical Stark effect as a …

Atomic Fermi gases have been an ideal platform for simulating conventional and
engineering exotic physical systems owing to their multiple tunable control parameters. Here …

A previously developed approach for the numerical treatment of two particles that are
confined in a finite optical-lattice potential and interact via an arbitrary isotropic interaction …

Confinement-induced resonances (CIR) in quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) systems have
been theoretically predicted and observed in various ultracold atomic gases. Here a …

We propose to go beyond the usual Hubbard model description of atoms in optical lattices
and show how few-body physics can be used to simulate many-body phenomena, eg, an …

This thesis reports on the creation of a state-dependent optical lattice for two-orbital
ytterbium quantum gases and the observation of a tunable interorbital spin-exchange …
