Ultracold quantum gases in spatially and temporally engineered environments (B03)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas ; Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 277625399

Project B3 is a collaboration between experiment and theory. It focuses on ultracold Bose gases coupled to spatially and temporally engineered external drives or dissipation. The experimental realization uses a rubidium quantum gas experiment, where local losses are implemented via a focused electron beam and local potential modulations are generated via overlapped repulsive and attractive miniaturized dipole traps. Extending the studies of the first funding period, the focus of the project are time-modulated dissipation and potentials. These have the potential to induce new transport effects and meta-stable bound states.
