Arbitrary high-resolution potentials on ultracold fermions

Li Lab

We have implemented a new high-resolution imaging system, that also makes it possible to imprint onto the atomic cloud arbitrary optical potentials created with a digital micromirror device (DMD). This will allow us to study quantum transport of fermionic gases in arbitrary geometries -- from the non-interacting limit to the strongly correlated regime, from the clean to the disordered case. An upgrade of the setup for the production of quasi-two-dimensional clouds is now under way, stay tuned!
