Optical atomic clocks with high precision allow minute frequency shifts to be measured in short timescales. Low instability requires an atomic frequency reference with a high quality …
Quantum fluids are characterized by integer-quantized vortices due to their phase coherence. Systems with additional internal degrees of freedom have far more complex …
Quantum simulation is the study of one quantum mechanical system via analog with another. In this thesis we explore a simple model of interacting bosons on a lattice, known as …

Methods to generate, manipulate, and measure optical and atomic fields with global or local angular momentum have a wide range of applications in both fundamental physics research …
Ultracold atomic gas systems provide a remarkably versatile platform for studying a wide range of physical phenomena, from analogue particle physics and gravity, to the emergence …
Ultracold atomic system provides us a versatile platform to address problems ranging from quasi-particle excitations supported by a variety of ground states, to cold collisions which …
Understanding non-equilibrium systems are challenging, because they are usually accompanied by either strong time-dependent perturbations or non-vanishing energy and …
Since the first realization of the superfluid He-4 in the 1930s, superfluidity has been one of the central topics in the modern physics. In particular, the advent of ultra-cold atomic gas (or …
