Experiments with Trapped Neutral Atoms
Abstract
PROPOSAL in response to BAA N00014-16-S-BA14TITLE: Experiments with Trapped Neutral AtomsPI: Wolfgang Ketterle, MITThis proposal aims at advancing the frontier of the field of ultracold atoms. Techniques are proposed which will prepare samples of ultracold atoms at extremely low temperatures and realize new forms of matter. We would like to pursue three distinct major directions: 1. Adiabatic cooling in optical lattices, which enable e.g. magnetically ordered states. 2. Developing new coolingtechniques using a quantum gas microscope with single-site resolution, which may lead to manybody states with non-trivial topology 3. Cooling dysprosium atoms, the most magnetic atom in the periodic table, to very low temperatures. This creates a system with new metrological capabilities and opportunities to realize novel many-body physics.
