Quantum gas microscopy of ultracold fermions in optical lattices

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a flexible platform for controlled engineering of quantum many-body systems. Quantum gas microscopes have enabled probing and controlling these systems at the level of individual atoms and lattice sites. In this talk, I will review progress from the last few years in fermionic microscope experiments studying the Fermi-Hubbard model. I will introduce the basic techniques used and review scientific highlights including: observation of Mott insulators and antiferromagnets, measurement of spin and charge correlations, and transport and photoemission spectroscopy experiments. I will conclude with an outlook on reaching lower entropy states of the Fermi-Hubbard model and novel approaches to realizing extended Hubbard models.
