• Abstract summary: This work investigates the collisional scattering of $6rm Li$ molecular Bose-Einstein condensate in the $D$ band of a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find a clear dependence of the $D$-band lifetimes on the interaction strength within the strongly interacting regime. The maximum lifetime versus lattice depth is measured to reveal the effects of interactions.

• Abstract: The excited bands in optical lattices manifest an important tool for studying quantum simulation and many-body physics, making it crucial to measure high-band scattering dynamics under strong interactions. This work investigates both experimentally and theoretically the collisional scattering of $^{6}\rm Li_2$ molecular Bose-Einstein condensate in the $D$ band of a one-dimensional optical lattice, with interaction strength directly tunable via magnetic Feshbach resonance. We find a clear dependence of the $D$-band lifetimes on the interaction strength within the strongly interacting regime, which arises from the fact that the scattering cross-section is proportional to the square of the scattering length. The maximum lifetime versus lattice depth is measured to reveal the effects of interactions. We also investigate the scattering channels of $D$-band molecules under different interaction levels and develop a reliable two-body scattering rate equation. This work provides insight into the interplay between interaction and the collisional scattering of high-band bosons in optical lattices, paving the way for research into strong correlation effects in high-band lattice systems.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal.

For short pulses we observe the standard Kapitza-Dirac diffraction, with the contrast of the diffraction pattern strongly reduced for very large interactions. For longer pulses diffraction shows the characteristic for matter waves impinging on an array of tubes and coherent channeling transport.
