One of the most promising paths in the field of quantum simulation consists in studying interacting ultracold atoms in optical lattices, thus realizing the famous Hubbard model mimicking the behavior of interacting electrons in solids. Such an approach is particularly powerful when combined with the technique of quantum gas microscopy, which allows to “see” individual particles and explore microscopic correlations between them. more

The relation between d-wave superconductivity and stripes is fundamental to the understanding of ordered phases in high-temperature cuprate superconductors. more

Using quantum gas microscopes, the wavefunction of a quantum system can be probed with microscopic resolution through projective measurements. By nature of the optical imaging techniques that are used to implement these measurements, the observable that is probed is the local density operator -- each atom in the underlying lattice geometry appears as a bright dot in the recorded image. more
