Our new paper on disorder-driven topological phase transitions is online!

In this work we observe topological phase transitions in the presence of disorder via mode-matching between the chiral edge mode and a localized BEC. more

New proposal for realizing non-Abelian quantum link models!

Together with our theory colleagues we developed a new scheme for realizing non-Abelian lattice gauge theories with Alkaline-earth(-like) atoms or via Rydberg excitation. more

Clock-sideband cooling of neutral Yb atoms

We have demonstrated cooling to the absolute motional ground state of Yb in 2D and 3D optical lattices, utilizing the ultranarrow optical clock transition. more
