Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

Controlling and measuring the temperature in different devices and platforms that operate in
the quantum regime is, without any doubt, essential for any potential application. In this …

Insights into complex phenomena in quantum matter can be gained from simulation
experiments with ultracold atoms, especially in cases where theoretical characterization is …

In solid-state materials, the static and dynamic properties as well as the magnetic and
electronic characteristics are crucially influenced by the crystal symmetry. Hexagonal …

The precise measurement of low temperatures is a challenging, important, and fundamental
task for quantum science. In particular, in situ thermometry is highly desirable for cold atomic …

Optical lattices have emerged as ideal simulators for Hubbard models of strongly correlated
materials, such as the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. In optical lattice …

Optical lattices have developed into a widely used and highly recognized tool to study many-
body quantum physics with special relevance for solid state type systems. One of the most …

Anyons—particles carrying fractional statistics that interpolate between bosons and fermions—
have been conjectured to exist in low-dimensional systems. In the context of the fractional …

We analyze in detail the heating of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice due to incoherent
scattering of light from the lasers forming the lattice. Because atoms scattered into higher …

We suggest that the holographic principle, combined with recent technological advances in
atomic, molecular, and optical physics, can lead to experimental studies of quantum gravity …
