- Abstract: Quantum degeneracy is the central many-body feature of ideal quantum gases
stemming from quantum mechanics. In this work we address its relationship to
the most fundamental form of non-classicality in many-body system, i.e.
many-body entanglement. We aim at establishing a quantitative link between
quantum degeneracy and entanglement in spinful ideal gases, using entanglement
witness criteria based on the variance of the collective spin of the spin
ensemble. We show that spin-1/2 ideal Bose gases do not possess entanglement
which can be revealed from such entanglement criteria. On the contrary, ideal
spin-1/2 Fermi gases exhibit spin entanglement revealed by the collective-spin
variances upon entering quantum degeneracy, due to the formation of highly
non-local spin singlets. We map out the regime of detectable spin entanglement
for Fermi gases in free space as well as in a parabolic trap, and probe the
robustness of spin entanglement to thermal effects and spin imbalance. Spin
entanglement in degenerate Fermi gases is amenable to experimental observation
using state-of-the-art spin detection techniques in ultracold atoms.

Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems.
We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons.
We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors.
We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.

Laughlin envisioned a thought experiment that laid the groundwork for our understanding of topological quantum matter.
His proposal is based on a quantum Hall cylinder periodically driven by an axial magnetic field, resulting in the quantized motion of electrons.
We realize this milestone experiment with an ultracold gas of dysprosium atoms, the cyclic dimension being encoded in the electronic spin and the axial field controlled by the phases of laser-induced spin-orbit couplings.
