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
Now in Physical Review Research!
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.
Robustness of gauge-invariant dynamics against defects in ultra cold atom gauge theories
Now in Physical Review Research!
Bing Yang collaborate with Jad C. Halimeh, Robert Ott, Ian P. McCulloch and Philipp Hauke in theoretically studying the robustness of an ultracold-atom quantum simulator against defects. This work is now published on Physical Review Research and is highlighted as the “editor’s suggestion”.
Nature Physics: Top publication honored

Our publication on the first-time observation of roton quasiparticles in quantum gases was chosen by the editors of Nature Physics as one of their favorite papers of the past 15 years.
Study of interspecies Feshbach resonances published in PRA

A key step in creating controlled interactions in dipolar quantum mixtures is the characterization of interspecies Feshbach resonances.
