Atom Arrays With Resonant Dipolar Exchange Interactions
A Pioneering Optical Trap Invokes Novel Atom Coupling And Exotic Spin Excitationsquantum Many-Body Systems Are Systems Of Many Interacting Particles Such As In Nuclei Or Quark–Gluon Plasma. Novel Experimental Setups Have Shed Light On The Forces And Properties Associated With Such Systems. Optical Traps, Or Optical Tweezers, Use Light (Laser Radiation Pressure) To Hold Small Particles In Place. The Eu-Funded Ataraxia Project Is Taking This One Step Further With Its Pioneering Synthetic Many-Body System Consisting Of Assembled Arrays Of Individual Laser-Cooled Atoms Held In Microscopic Optical Traps. The Coupled Atoms Naturally Produce Spin Excitations That Behave Like Hopping Particles, Interacting Strongly With Each Other. This Unique Setup Will Enable Scientists To Investigate Important Open Questions In Quantum Many-Body Physics.
