Assembling quantum matter atom by atom

Description

 

Introducing tools from microscopy recently brought the control of quantum gases to the single-particle level. It allowed experimenters to synthesize, manipulate, and probe few-body quantum states with high fidelity. I will present experimental studies of assembled quantum matter in optical lattices, ranging from entanglement dynamics in non-equilibrium systems to topologically ordered systems. I will conclude with an overview of our ongoing research on light-mediated interactions in an optical tweezer array, and its prospects for quantum simulation and information.
