18 April 2016

Our paper on the dimensional crossover of Many-body localization was published as an Editor's suggestion in PRL. In this work we could show that individual localized systems can-when coupled together-start to act as a bath for themselves and restore ergodic behavior.

Individual tunnelling control in optical lattices

9 September 2024

Optical lattices are power quantum simulators with many applications in e.g. strongly-correlated and topological systems. However, up to now, they were limited in programmability since typically all tunnelling links were of the same strength. In this new paper, we show theoretically how local control over individual...
