Ultracold Bosons and Fermions in Hexagonal Optical Superlattices

Shao‐Wen Chang

Quantum simulation using ultracold fermions in optical lattices provides valuable insights for strongly correlated many-body phenomena in regimes challenging for classical simulations. In this dissertation, we report the design and construction of an apparatus capable of producing quantum degenerate Bose and Fermi gases. The atoms are then loaded into hexagonal optical superlattices created using two commensurate wavelengths. The apparatus lays the foundation for studying interacting fermions in geometrically frustrated lattices.We also report our experimental results on the characterization of the quantum geometry of Bloch band structures. Using rubidium Bose-Einstein condensates in the honeycomb lattice, we were able to measure the quantum distance around band touching points using parallel transport. Additionally, by simulating optical excitations using noninteracting fermions in a periodically modulated lattice, we observe quasimomentum-dependent optical selection rules, which stem from interband quantum geometry of the honeycomb lattice.

Effects of anisotropy in simple lattice geometries on many-body properties of ultracold fermions in optical lattices

Anna Golubeva, Andrii Sotnikov, Walter Hofstetter

We study the effects of anisotropic hopping amplitudes on quantum phases of ultracold fermions in optical lattices described by the repulsive Fermi-Hubbard model. In particular, using dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) we investigate the dimensional crossover between the isotropic square and the isotropic cubic lattice. We analyze the phase transition from the antiferromagnetic to the paramagnetic state and observe a significant change in the critical temperature: depending on the interaction strength, the anisotropy can lead to both a suppression or increase. We also investigate the localization properties of the system, such as the compressibility and double occupancy. Using the local-density approximation in combination with DMFT we conclude that density profiles can be used to detect the mentioned anisotropy-driven transitions.

Formation and Dynamics of Antiferromagnetic Correlations in Tunable Optical Lattices

Daniel Greif, Gregor Jotzu, Michael Messer +2 more

We report on the observation of antiferromagnetic correlations of ultracold fermions in a variety of optical lattice geometries that are well described by the Hubbard model, including dimers, 1D chains, ladders, isolated and coupled honeycomb planes, as well as square and cubic lattices. The dependence of the strength of spin correlations on the specific geometry is experimentally studied by measuring the correlations along different lattice tunneling links, where a redistribution of correlations between the different lattice links is observed. By measuring the correlations in a crossover between distinct geometries, we demonstrate an effective reduction of the dimensionality for our atom numbers and temperatures. We also investigate the formation and redistribution time of spin correlations by dynamically changing the lattice geometry and studying the time evolution of the system. Time scales ranging from a sudden quench of the lattice geometry to an adiabatic evolution are probed.
