Ultracold Atoms in a Quasicrystalline Optical Lattice

量子模拟领域利用真实的、容易调谐的量子系统作为研究其他量子系统的物理学的手段，这些量子系统通常非常难以直接测试或计算模拟。这个项目就是这样做的，使用光学晶格中的超冷原子来探测新的准晶几何中的许多体量子现象。这个系统的属性，沿着控制一系列参数，如散射长度，允许调查到一系列有趣的量子现象。

The field of quantum simulation utilises real, easily tuneable quantum systems as a means of investigating the physics of other quantum systems, which are typically very difficult to test directly or simulate computationally. This project does just that, using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice to probe many body quantum phenomena in a novel quasicrystalline geometry. This system's properties, along with control over a range of parameters such as scattering length, allow investigation into a range of interesting quantum phenomena.
