Heating a dipolar quantum fluid into a solid

Usually, increasing the temperature of a system leads to disorder but supersolids can show the opposite trend. Here, the authors discuss the observation of a supersolid phase in a dilute gas of dysprosium atoms by increasing their temperature.

Time-of-flight quantum tomography of an atom in an optical tweezer

A tomography protocol that exploits the control offered by optical tweezers allows the reconstruction of motional states of a single trapped atom. This has implications for the study of non-classical states of massive trapped and levitated particles.

Distributed quantum sensing with mode-entangled spin-squeezed atomic states

A spatially distributed, atomic clock network entangled via quantum nondemolition measurements offers better precision and lower noise compared to an equivalent mode-separable network, and the improvements scale with network size.

Accessing quantum information of field theories with ultracold atoms

It’s a long-standing theoretical prediction that mutual information in locally interacting, many-body quantum systems follows an area law. Using cold-atom quantum-field simulators on an atom chip to measure the scaling of von Neumann entropy and mutual information, that prediction is now proved true.

A picture of a swinging atom

Reconstructing the motional quantum states of massive particles has important implications for quantum information science. Motional tomography of a single atom in an optical tweezer has now been demonstrated.

These crashing waves

Solitons in attractive Bose–Einstein condensates are mesoscopic quantum objects that may prove useful as tools for precision measurement. A new experiment shows that collisions of matter-wave bright solitons depend crucially on their relative phase.
