Many-body phases from effective geometrical frustration and long-range interactions in a subwavelength latticeKolmogorov Scaling in Turbulent 2D Bose-Einstein Condensates
Geometrical frustration and long-range couplings are key contributors to create quantum phases with different properties throughout physics. We propose a scheme where both ingredients naturally emerge in a Raman induced subwavelength lattice. We first demonstrate that Raman-coupled multicomponent quantum gases …
Kolmogorov Scaling in Turbulent 2D Bose-Einstein Condensates
We investigated turbulence in 2D atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) using a minimally destructive, impurity injection technique analogous to particle image velocimetry in conventional fluids. Our approach transfers small regions of the BEC into a different hyperfine state and tracks their …

Measurement resolution enhanced coherence for lattice fermions
Weak measurement enables the extraction of targeted information from a quantum system while minimizing decoherence due to measurement backaction. However, in many-body quantum systems, backaction can have unexpected effects on wave-function collapse. We theoretically study a minimal many-particle model consisting …

Stationary solitary waves in F=1 spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
We consider solitary wave excitations above the ground state of 𝐹=1 spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (SOBECs). The low-energy properties of SOBECs in any of the three branches of the single-particle dispersion relation can be described by suitable scalar nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations which we …

Dr. Junheng Tao defended his thesis with a non-Hermitian flair!
Congratulations Junheng! Even with large dissipation, March 12, 2024 will not be lost to time.
Whoo-hoo! Dr. Mingshu Zhao defended his thesis!
Way to go Mingshu! March 1, 2024 will live on in history.
