• Abstract: Single-atom imaging resolution of many-body quantum systems in optical lattices is routinely achieved with quantum-gas microscopes. Key to their great versatility as quantum simulators is the ability to use engineered light potentials at the microscopic level. Here, we employ dynamically varying microscopic light potentials in a quantum-gas microscope to study commensurate and incommensurate 1D systems of interacting bosonic Rb atoms. Such incommensurate systems are analogous to doped insulating states that exhibit atom transport and compressibility. Initially, a commensurate system with unit filling and fixed atom number is prepared between two potential barriers. We deterministically create an incommensurate system by dynamically changing the position of the barriers such that the number of available lattice sites is reduced while retaining the atom number. Our systems are characterised by measuring the distribution of particles and holes as a function of the lattice filling, and interaction strength, and we probe the particle mobility by applying a bias potential. Our work provides the foundation for preparation of low-entropy states with controlled filling in optical-lattice experiments.

  Microscopically probing quantum many-body systems by resolving constituent particles is essential for understanding quantum matter. Atom-based quantum simulators offer a unique platform that enables the imaging of each particle in a many-body system. Here, we introduce a novel method for imaging atomic quantum many-body systems in the continuum, allowing for in situ resolution of every particle.

  We propose boson sampling from a system of coupled photons and Bose-Einstein condensed atoms placed inside a multi-mode cavity. We find a joint probability distribution of atom and photon numbers within a quasi-equilibrium model. Merging cavity-QED and quantum-gas technologies into hybrid boson sampling setup has the potential to overcome limitations of separate, photon or atom, sampling schemes.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We consider a setup consisting of an atomic ensemble enclosed within a laser-driven optomechanical cavity. For experimentally achievable parameters, it is possible to generate steady state bipartite Gaussian entanglement between pairs of macroscopic systems. In particular, we find under which conditions it is possible to obtain a reasonable amount of entanglement between the atomic ensemble and the LC circuit.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

• Bose-Einstein condensates in an atom-optomechanical system with effective global non-uniform interaction [1.6637373649145606]
  We consider a hybrid atom-optomechanical system consisting of a mechanical membrane inside an optical cavity and an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate outside the cavity. We derive the cavity-mediated effective atom-atom interaction potential, and find that it is non-uniform, site-dependent, and does not decay as the interatomic distance increases. We show that the presence of this effective interaction breaks the Z$$ symmetry of the system and gives rise to new quantum phases and phase transitions.
