Explorations in localization, compact atom sources and anyons with ultracold strontium
POSTER
Abstract
Ultracold atoms in bichromatic lattices serve as an ideal experimental platform for implementing the Aubry-André model and extensions thereof. We present recent work exploring the intersection of dynamical and disorder-induced localization in a Kicked Aubry-André model, as well as results demonstrating phasonic spectroscopy of Strontium in a bichromatic optical lattice. Separately, we describe a second-generation compact atom source experiment in which a magneto-optical trap of strontium is loaded by laser illumination of strontium oxide, as well as progress on efforts to realize non-Abelian anyons in a biased zig-zag lattice.
