New paper where we microscopically observe spin polarons in a triangular Fermi-Hubbard system! Kinetic frustration in triangular lattices leads to the formation of polarons that can exist in the absence of superexchange and are robust at high temperatures.

The researchers cooled molecules down to ultracold temperatures, loaded them into a crystal of light known as an optical lattice, and studied their collective quantum behavior such that each individual molecule could be observed. @PrincetonPhys research.princeton.edu/news/…

A #PrincetonU experiment could have profound implications for fundamental physics research and accelerate the development of large-scale quantum computer systems. ⬇️ bit.ly/3XdH3dN

Observation of the Hanbury Brown–Twiss effect with ultracold molecules
go.nature.com/3wxWQtj
nature.com/articles/s41567-0… Our paper on the observation of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect with a molecular quantum gas microscope is now out in Nature Physics! @PrincetonPhys @NaturePhysics @princetonideas
nature.com/articles/s41567-0… also check out the nice summary from Christof Weitenberg @unihh
Check out our new paper from the Bakr lab! We use ultracold molecules in an optical lattice to simulate an interacting spin model, and then probe the growth of correlations between the spins in time with microscopic resolution arxiv.org/abs/2207.09328
I'm excited about this paper because it took almost 5 years of work to build the instrument and collect the data for these results, but it was worth it because I think these experiments really demonstrate the power of ultracold molecules for studying quantum many-body physics.
I also had a ton of fun working with my colleagues @laser_cooled @aormorningstar and everyone else at @PrincetonPhys on this project.

Latest work from the Bakr Lab arxiv.org/abs/2203.15023! We scale our Fermi-Hubbard optical tweezer platform to 2-dimensions, where we realize a variety of programmable lattice geometries using a stroboscopic technique.
I'm excited to share the latest preprint from the Bakr lab, where we observe the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect with ultracold molecules for the first time:
arxiv.org/abs/2111.09426
Using our newly constructed molecular quantum gas microscope, we measure density correlations between individual NaRb molecules in an optical lattice, revealing the effect of bosonic statistics when the wavefunctions of the molecules interfere with each other.

There has been a lot of discussion of the Swedish approach to coping with the #COVID19 pandemic, and of whether their strategy of more voluntary restrictions and a more rapid approach to reaching ‘herd immunity’ would work. Let’s talk about the results so far. 1/

Attention, Cold Atom Squad - as anticipated, the 2020 DAMOP meeting will be replaced by a virtual meeting
aps.org/units/damop/meetings… How will this work? We don't know, but the virtual 2020 APS April Meeting begins tomorrow: aps-april.onlineeventpro.fre… @quantumlah @iqoqi @ox_ultracold

People who are dying of COVID19 will need first-rate palliative (hospice) care. This is going to be especially the case for people who are denied ventilators or who are taken off of them (i.e., who are “extubated”). Let’s talk about this painful and poignant fact. 1/
