Note: a simple laser shutter with protective shielding for beam powers up to 1 W
Review of Scientific Instruments 89, (2018)
We present the design of an inexpensive and reliable mechanical laser shutter and its electronic driver. A camera diaphragm shutter …
Sub-Doppler laser cooling of 40K with Raman gray molasses on the D2 line
Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 50, (2017)
Gray molasses is a powerful tool for sub-Doppler laser cooling of atoms to low temperatures. For alkaline atoms, this technique is …
Single-atom imaging of fermions in a quantum-gas microscope
Nature Physics 11, 738–742 (2015)
Single-atom-resolved detection in optical lattices using quantum-gas microscopes has enabled a new generation of experiments in the …
Preparation and spectroscopy of a metastable Mott-insulator state with attractive interactions
Physical Review Letters 108, (2012)
We prepare and study a metastable attractive Mott-insulator state formed with bosonic atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice. …
Three-body correlation functions and recombination rates for bosons in three dimensions and one dimension
Physical Review Letters 107, (2011)
We investigate local three-body correlations for bosonic particles in three dimensions and one dimension as a function of the …
Precision measurements on a tunable Mott insulator of ultracold atoms
Physical Review Letters 107, (2011)
We perform precision measurements on a Mott-insulator quantum state of ultracold atoms with tunable interactions. We probe the …
Demonstration of the temporal matter-wave Talbot effect for trapped matter waves
New Journal of Physics 13, (2011)
We demonstrate the temporal Talbot effect for trapped matter waves using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. We investigate the …
Ultracold and dense samples of ground-state molecules in lattice potentials
Journal of Physics: Conference Series 264, (2011)
We produce an ultracold and dense sample of rovibronic ground state Cs(2) molecules close to the regime of quantum degeneracy, in a …
Pinning quantum phase transition for a Luttinger liquid of strongly interacting bosons
Nature 466, 597–600 (2010)
Quantum many-body systems can have phase transitions(1) even at zero temperature; fluctuations arising from Heisenberg’s …
Interference of interacting matter waves
New Journal of Physics 12, (2010)
The phenomenon of matter-wave interference lies at the heart of quantum physics. It has been observed in various contexts in the limit …
