Formation of ultracold molecules by merging optical tweezers

DK Ruttley, A Guttridge, S Spence, RC Bird… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical
tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are …

From few to many: Observing the formation of a Fermi sea one atom at a time

AN Wenz, G Zürn, S Murmann, I Brouzos, T Lompe… - Science, 2013 - science.org
Knowing when a physical system has reached sufficient size for its macroscopic properties
to be well described by many-body theory is difficult. We investigated the crossover from few …

Trap-assisted formation of atom–ion bound states

M Pinkas, O Katz, J Wengrowicz, N Akerman, R Ozeri - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Pairs of free particles cannot form bound states in an elastic collision due to momentum and
energy conservation. In many ultracold experiments, however, the particles collide in the …

Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain of a few cold atoms in a one-dimensional trap

S Murmann, F Deuretzbacher, G Zürn, J Bjerlin… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We report on the deterministic preparation of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains
consisting of up to four fermionic atoms in a one-dimensional trap. These chains are …

Strongly interacting two-dimensional Fermi gases

J Levinsen, MM Parish - Annual review of cold atoms and …, 2015 - World Scientific
We review the current understanding of the uniform two-dimensional (2D) Fermi gas with
short-range interactions. We first outline the basics of two-body scattering in 2D, including a …

One-dimensional mixtures of several ultracold atoms: a review

T Sowiński, MÁ García-March - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent theoretical and experimental progress on studying one-dimensional systems of
bosonic, fermionic, and Bose–Fermi mixtures of a few ultracold atoms confined in traps is …

Pairing in few-fermion systems with attractive interactions

G Zürn, AN Wenz, S Murmann, A Bergschneider… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
We study quasi-one-dimensional few-particle systems consisting of one to six ultracold
fermionic atoms in two different spin states with attractive interactions. We probe the system …

Quantum magnetism without lattices in strongly interacting one-dimensional spinor gases

F Deuretzbacher, D Becker, J Bjerlin, SM Reimann… - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We show that strongly interacting multicomponent gases in one dimension realize an
effective spin chain, offering an alternative simple scenario for the study of one-dimensional …
