• Abstract: A long chain of Bose condensates freely expands and interferes after being released from an optical lattice. The interference fringes are well resolved both in the case of equal phases of the condensates and in the case of fluctuating phases. In the second case the positions of the fringes also fluctuate. The spectrum of the spatial density distribution, however, is reproducible despite the fluctuations. Moreover two types of peaks are distinguishable in the spectrum. The first type arises due to the phase fluctuations, the second type is associated with the coherence between the condensates. In the framework of the Pitaevskii-Gross equation we calculate the interference of the condensates and compare the calculation with experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 090403 (2019)]. The calculation reproduces the positions of the spectrum peaks, including the dependence on the interparticle interaction. The calculated heights of the peaks, however, in some cases differ with the experimental ones.

  Two initially independent Bose-Einstein condensates are coherently coupled at two temperatures. The thermalization inside the atomic vapors can be understood as an intrinsic measurement process. Focus is put on the original thought experiment of Anderson on whether a Josephson current between two initially separated Bose-Einstein condensates occurs in a deterministic way or not.

  We experimentally observe the emergence of the quantum floating phase in 92 neutral-atom qubits. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase. As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a triangular ladder with next-to-nearest-neighbor interaction along each leg. For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.
