Quantum simulation with ultracold atoms

Ultracold atoms are a versatile platform to study quantum many-body physics. Their combination with optical lattices enables the realization of Hubbard-like models of condensed matter.

Cooperative quantum optics in atomic arrays

Atoms loaded in optical lattices can be used as a subwavelength array of emitters that can be used to study cooperative quantum optics phenomena in free space.

Single-atom detection

To prepare and characterize the properties of such atomic systems, it is desirable to detect the atoms with site-resolved resolution. This tool has enabled the development of quantum-gas microscopes as well as atomic arrays based on optical tweezers.
