Single-site-resolved imaging of ultracold atoms in a triangular optical lattice

Ryuta Yamamoto, Hideki Ozawa, David C. Nak +2 more

Abstract We demonstrate single-site-resolved fluorescence imaging of ultracold 87Rb atoms in a triangular optical lattice by employing Raman sideband cooling. Combining a Raman transition at the D1 line and a photon scattering through an optical pumping of the D2 line, we obtain images with low background noise. The Bayesian optimisation of 11 experimental parameters for fluorescence imaging with Raman sideband cooling enables us to achieve single-atom detection with a high fidelity of (96.3 ± 1.3)%. Single-atom and single-site resolved detection in a triangular optical lattice paves the way for the direct observation of spin correlations or entanglement in geometrically frustrated systems.

Site-Resolved Imaging of Ultracold Fermions in a Triangular-Lattice Quantum Gas Microscope

Jin Yang, Liyu Liu, Jirayu Mongkolkiattichai +1 more

Quantum gas microscopes have expanded the capabilities of quantum simulation of Hubbard models by enabling the study of spatial spin and density correlations in square lattices.However, quantum gas microscopes have not been realized for fermionic atoms in frustrated geometries.Here, we demonstrate the single-atom resolved imaging of ultracold fermionic 6 Li atoms in a triangular optical lattice with a lattice constant of 1003 nm.The optical lattice is formed by a recycled narrow-linewidth, high-power laser combined with a light sheet to allow for Raman sideband cooling on the D 1 line.We optically resolve single atoms on individual lattice sites using a high-resolution objective to collect scattered photons while cooling them close to the two-dimensional ground vibrational level in each lattice site.By reconstructing the lattice occupation, we measure an imaging fidelity of approximately 98%.Our triangular lattice microscope platform for fermions clears the path for studying spin-spin correlations, entanglement, and dynamics of geometrically frustrated Hubbard systems which are expected to exhibit exotic emergent phenomena including spin liquids and kinetic frustration.
