THEORY GROUP

In our theory group, we utilise state-of-the-art methods to model the experiments of the ERBIUM and Er-Dy LABs, and provide assistance in guiding future experiments into the exciting phenomena not yet explored in dipolar quantum gases. Recently, with Luis Santos (University of Hannover), we probed the one- to two-dimensional supersolid transition using numerical and analytical methods, closely matching results from our Er-Dy LAB.

The theory group was a new addition to the team at the Dipolar Quantum Gas Group in late 2020, and we’re excited to show you what we’re working on next! If you want to learn more about the Theory group, you can find more info in the publications and/or contact us.

Phase coherence in out-of-equilibrium supersolid states of ultracold dipolar atoms

Now in Nature Physics! Supersolids are fluid and solid at the same time. In jointly collaboration work, together with Thierry Giamarchi, theoretical physicist from the University of Geneva, we have for the first time investigated what happens when such a state is brought out of balance.

Supersolidity in an elongated dipolar condensate

Lauriane and Francesca, together with Blair Blakie and Danny Bailly (Otago University), theoretically studied the supersolid phase diagram of dipolar quantum Bose gases in cylindrical geometries. The work is now published in Physical Review Research.
