Strongly Correlated Quantum Gas Prepared by Direct Laser Cooling

Abstract: We create a one-dimensional strongly correlated quantum gas of 133 Cs atoms with attractive interactions by direct laser cooling in 300 ms. After compressing and cooling the optically trapped atoms to the vibrational ground state along two tightly confined directions, the emergence of a non-Gaussian time-of-flight distribution along the third, weakly confined direction reveals that the system enters a quantum degenerate regime. We observe a strong reduction of two-and three-body spatial correlations and infer … Show more

“…This phe-nomenon, which is a consequence of integrability, is called a "quantum holonomy" [11]. In an intermediate stage of this cycle, the system forms an attractively interacting, metastable "super-Tonks-Girardeau" gas (sTG), in which the bosons are even more strongly anticorrelated than free fermions [12][13][14][15][16][17]. As one quenches deeper into the sTG regime by making the interactions less strongly attractive, one expects the sTG to become unstable; this is indeed seen in gases with purely shortrange interactions [15].…”

“…The fast transport setup demonstrated here enables short cycle times, which will be beneficial for improved statistics in future experiments. The cycle time could be reduced further by implementing additional all-optical cooling techniques [26][27][28] to reduce the loading and evaporation times in the dipole traps. Our design further facilitates large optical access, enabling the installation of high-NA objectives for singleatom single-site resolved imaging and manipulation of cold 133 Cs atoms in optical lattices [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56].…”

“…However, this usually comes at the expense of increased experimental complexity and longer cycle times. On the other hand reaching faster cycle times [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and developing compact and robust experimental setups [30] is essential for the development of the next generation of quantum devices [31][32][33][34].…”

“…Local observables and correlations thereof are measured in great detail thanks to in situ manipulations [5][6][7][8]. As one of the main protagonists in this play the Bose gas with contact interactions, also known as the Lieb-Liniger model (LL) [9][10][11], stands out since it naturally emerges when a bosonic gas is confined to an elongated trap [1,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The LL model belongs to the class of integrable, or exactly solvable, systems [25,26] which possess an extensive number of local conserved quantities: This has far-reaching consequences, such as hindering of thermalization [27,28] and ballistic transport [29].…”
