Description

Research Focus: Ultracold atoms in optical lattices, Rydberg atoms, non-ergodic dynamics, cooperative light-matter interactions

My main interest is the investigation of complex quantum many-body systems in lattice-based analog quantum simulators. By exploiting state-of-the-art quantum gas microscopy, we can create, manipulate and read out large one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models with single-site resolution. This versatile platform gives us access to a broad class of experiments including itinerant systems with controlled disorder, cooperative light-matter interactions in a subwavelength atomic array, and long-range interacting Hamiltonians using highly excited Rydberg atoms.

Within the MCQST START Grant I aim to study quantum many-body phenomena in tunable lattice geometries and explore the dynamics of bound mesons within the long-range interacting transverse field Ising model.
