Abstract:
Dilute-gas Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) provide a very flexible platform to investigate quantum mechanical behavior of single particles, few body systems and many-body systems. Over the recent years, the creation of artificial gauge fields and spin-orbit coupling using Raman dressing schemes have become a major focus of experimental and theoretical efforts. These schemes make it possible to study the dynamics of charged particles using the neutral atoms in a BEC. In this talk I will highlight some of the recent results from experiments conducted by my group at Washington State University, including the experimental realization of artificial gauge fields, dispersions with a roton-like minimum, and a Floquet Bloch lattice.

 

Looking forward to seeing many of you.
