The magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an essential tool for collecting and preparing cold atoms
with a wide range of applications. We demonstrate a planar-integrated MOT by combining …

Realizing long-range interactions to simulate physics beyond a minimal Hubbard model has
been a long-standing goal in quantum simulation. In a system composed of ultracold neutral …

This thesis presents original results on the experimental and theoretical investigation of the
possibility of application of linear and nonlinear coherent optical effects in acetylene (𝐶2𝐻2) …
