Journal ArticleDOI
A quantum gas microscope for detecting single atoms in a Hubbard-regime optical lattice
TL;DR: A quantum gas ‘microscope’ that bridges the two approaches to creating highly controllable quantum information systems, realizing a system in which atoms of a macroscopic ensemble are detected individually and a complete set of degrees of freedom for each of them is determined through preparation and measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin-injection spectroscopy of a spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas.
Lawrence Cheuk,Ariel Sommer,Zoran Hadzibabic,Zoran Hadzibabic,Tarik Yefsah,Waseem Bakr,Martin Zwierlein +6 more
TL;DR: The coupling of the spin of electrons to their motional state lies at the heart of recently discovered topological phases of matter and the spin-orbit gap is revealed via spin-injection spectroscopy, which characterizes the energy-momentum dispersion and spin composition of the quantum states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum simulation of antiferromagnetic spin chains in an optical lattice
TL;DR: Using an ultracold gas of rubidium atoms confined in an optical lattice, Simon et al. as discussed by the authors simulate quantum magnetism in a chain of spins and observe a quantum phase transition from a paramagnetic phase into an antiferromagnetic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the Superfluid–to–Mott Insulator Transition at the Single-Atom Level
Waseem Bakr,Amy Peng,M. E. Tai,Ruichao Ma,Jonathan Simon,Jonathon Gillen,Simon Fölling,Simon Fölling,Lode Pollet,Markus Greiner +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used single atom-single lattice site imaging to investigate the Bose-Hubbard model on a microscopic level, enabling space and time-resolved characterization of the number statistics across the superfluid-Mott insulator quantum phase transition.

Quantum Simulation of an Antiferromagnetic Spin Chain in an Optical Lattice
TL;DR: By demonstrating a route to quantum magnetism in an optical lattice, this work should facilitate further investigations of magnetic models using ultracold atoms, thereby improving the understanding of real magnetic materials.
