Observing non-ergodicity due to kinetic constraints in tilted Fermi-Hubbard chains

July 30, 2021

It has been predicted that even in the absence of disorder many-body systems may fail to thermalize.
In this work we observe non-ergodic dynamics in the 1D tilted Fermi-Hubbard model that is distinct…

Collisions of ultracold molecules in bright and dark optical dipole traps

July 05, 2021

What happens when two molecules collide with each other? This seemingly simple question remains unanswered in many cases. Specifically, when two molecules collide in such a way that chemical reactions…

Microscopic electronic structure tomography of Rydberg macrodimers

May 04, 2021

Precise control and study of molecules is challenging due to the variety of internal degrees of freedom and local coordinates that are typically not controlled in an experiment. Employing quantum gas…
