Simple, highly stable transfer cavity for laser stabilization based on a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer spacer

We describe the design and operation of a high-stability Fabry-Pérot cavity, for laser stabilization in cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments. Our design is based on an inexpensive and readily available uniaxial carbon-fiber reinforced polymer tube sp ...

Direct production of fermionic superfluids in a cavity-enhanced optical dipole trap

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Timo Zwettler

We present the production of quantum degenerate, superfluid gases of 6Li through direct evaporative cooling in a cavity-enhanced optical dipole trap. The entire evaporative cooling process is performed in a trap created by the TEM00 mode of a Fabry-Pérot c ...

Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Long-Range Interacting Fermions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Timo Zwettler

A fundamental problem of out-of-equilibrium physics is the speed at which the order parameter grows upon crossing a phase transition. Here, we investigate the ordering dynamics in a Fermi gas undergoing a density-wave phase transition induced by quenching ...

Cavity Microscope for Micrometer-Scale Control of Atom-Photon Interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Nick Jacob Sauerwein, Tigrane Arthur Cantat Moltrecht

Cavity quantum electrodynamics offers the possibility of observing and controlling the motion of a few or individual atoms, enabling the realization of various quantum technological tasks such as quantum enhanced metrology or quantum simulation of strongly ...

Multifractality in the interacting disordered Tavis-Cummings model

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We analyze the spectral and transport properties of the interacting disordered Tavis-Cummings model at half excitation filling. We demonstrate that a Poissonian-level statistics coexists with eigenfunctions that are multifractal (extended, but nonergodic) ...

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler, Elvia Colella

A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...

Engineering random spin models with atoms in a high-finesse cavity

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Nick Jacob Sauerwein, Tigrane Arthur Cantat Moltrecht

Random spin models play a key role in our understanding of disorder and complex many-body systems. Two all-to-all interacting, disordered models have now been realized using a cavity quantum electrodynamics platform. ...

Optomechanical response of a strongly interacting Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler

We study a Fermi gas with strong, tunable interactions dispersively coupled to a high-finesse cavity. Upon probing the system along the cavity axis, we observe a strong optomechanical Kerr nonlinearity originating from the density response of the gas to th ...
