A recent rejuvenation of experimental and theoretical interest in the physics of few-body
systems has provided deep, fundamental insights into a broad range of problems. Few-body …

The Fermi-Hubbard model is a key concept in condensed matter physics and provides
crucial insights into electronic and magnetic properties of materials. Yet, the intricate nature …

Isolated quantum many-body systems with integrable dynamics generically do not
thermalize when taken far from equilibrium. As one perturbs such systems away from the …

Using a species-selective dipole potential, we create initially localized impurities and
investigate their interactions with a majority species of bosonic atoms in a one-dimensional …

In solid-state materials, the static and dynamic properties as well as the magnetic and
electronic characteristics are crucially influenced by the crystal symmetry. Hexagonal …

Programmable spatial light modulators have significantly advanced the configurable optical
trapping of particles. Typically, these devices are utilized in the Fourier plane of an optical …

Scalable, coherent many-body systems can enable the realization of previously unexplored
quantum phases and have the potential to exponentially speed up information processing …

Optical lattices have emerged as ideal simulators for Hubbard models of strongly correlated
materials, such as the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. In optical lattice …

We analyze in detail the heating of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice due to incoherent
scattering of light from the lasers forming the lattice. Because atoms scattered into higher …

We employ ultracold atoms with controllable disorder and interaction to study the
paradigmatic problem of disordered bosons in the full disorder-interaction plane. Combining …
