Dr. Bindu R. Nair, the Director of Basic Research within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Jean-Luc Cambier, the Program Director of the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship program visited us on 02/28/24. We gave a series of presentations on our ongoing...

We had a special hotpot party on 02/09/2024 to warmly welcome our new students: Andrew Winnicki (BEC5 intern), Hyo Sun Park (BEC3) and Yaashnaa Singhal (Dypole)... and to celebrate Chinese/ Lunar New Year-- the dragon year!

Spin physics under a microscope In BEC4, we have implemented state-dependent optical lattices for Rb-87 to simulate spin-1 physics. By adjusting the intercomponent interactions, we have prepared a spinful Mott insulator with repulsively bound pairs. Now we are setting...
