Optical techniques allow precise control over the internal and external degrees of freedom in an ultra-cold gas of atoms. For this reason, ultra-cold atoms are often used to simulate other physical systems, especially ones that are typically experimentally challenging or completely inaccessible to manipulation. This proposal aims to create tunable optical potentials for ultra-cold atomic gases. The fundamental goal is to exploit the tunability of ultra-cold gases to create powerful analogies to other physical systems, such as astrophysical and low temperature physics systems, and to further understanding through precise manipulation of ultra-cold atoms.

光学技术可以精确控制超冷原子气体的内部和外部自由度。出于这个原因，超冷原子通常用于模拟其他物理系统，特别是那些通常具有实验挑战性或完全无法操纵的系统。该提议旨在为超冷原子气体创造可调谐的光学势。其基本目标是利用超冷气体的可调谐性来创建与其他物理系统（如天体物理和低温物理系统）的强大类比，并通过精确操纵超冷原子来进一步理解。
