Quantum gases in an optical Kagome lattice

我正在加入一个现有的团队，为超冷碱原子的量子气体建立一个光学Kagome晶格实验。这种装置被称为量子模拟器，因为它可以在高度受控的环境中复制凝聚态物质系统或其他任意哈密顿量的行为。Kagome晶格在反铁磁相互作用中表现出平坦的能带和几何受挫等显著特征，这导致了新的现象，也为非平衡物理的研究提供了一个平台。

I am joining an existing team in the construction of an optical Kagome lattice experiment for quantum gases of ultracold alkali atoms. Such a set-up is known as a quantum simulator, as it can replicate the behaviour of condensed matter systems or other arbitrary Hamiltonians in a highly controlled environment. The Kagome lattice displays remarkable features such as a flat band and geometric frustration in the case of antiferromagnetic interactions, which give rise to novel phenomena and also provide a platform for the study of non-equilibrium physics.
