Bosons in a narrow-band optical resonator

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

I will review our recent results on atom-cavity physics with a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate in a recoil resolving narrow bandwidth optical resonator. I will discuss cooling on a sub-recoil energy scale [1], in-situ monitoring of Bloch oscillations [2], matter wave superradiance [3], non-equilibrium dynamics in the open Dicke model [4], and the emergence of a self-organized cavity-induced Mott insulator [5].
