Antiferromagnetism with Ultracold Atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use ultracold spin–1/2 atomic fermions (Li) to realize the Hubbard model on a three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice. At relatively high temperatures and at densities near half-filling, we show that the gas forms a Mott insulator with unordered spins. To observe antiferromagnetic order that is predicted to occur at lower temperatures, we developed the compensated optical lattice method to evaporatively cool atoms in the lattice. This cooling has enabled the detection of short-range magnetic order by spin-sensitive Bragg scattering of light.

Néel temperature and thermodynamics of the half-filled three-dimensional Hubbard model by diagrammatic determinant Monte Carlo
We study the thermodynamics of the three-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling on approach to the Néel transition by means of large-scale unbiased diagrammatic determinant Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the transition temperature in the strongly correlated regime, as well as the temperature dependence of the energy, entropy, double occupancy, and nearest-neighbor spin correlation functi...
متن کاملProbing and Preparing Novel States of Quantum Degenerate Rubidium Atoms in Optical Lattices
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are promising systems to realize and study novel quantum mechanical phases of matter with the control and precision offered by atomic physics. Towards this goal, as important as engineering new states of matter is the need to develop new techniques to probe these systems. I first describe our work on realizing Bragg scattering of infrared light from ultracold...
متن کاملA Scanning Electron Microscope for Ultracold Atoms
We propose a new technique for the detection of single atoms in ultracold quantum gases. The technique is based on scanning electron microscopy and employs the electron impact ionization of trapped atoms with a focussed electron probe. Subsequent detection of the resulting ions allows for the reconstruction of the atoms position. This technique is expected to achieve a much better spatial resol...

متن کاملManipulation of ultracold atomic mixtures using microwave techniques
We used microwave radiation to evaporatively cool a mixture of of Cs and Rb atoms in a magnetic trap. A mixture composed of an equal number (around 10) of Rb and Cs atoms in their doubly polarized states at ultracold temperatures was prepared. We also used microwaves to selectively evaporate atoms in different Zeeman states.
