Benno Rem has been selected for the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship. The fellowship has been awarded for the project ISOTOP, which will focus on studying interactions, spin mixtures and edge-states in topological band structures. During the project, the team will utilise ultra-cold fermions in a shaken hexagonal optical lattice, to engineer the geometry and topology of band structures. Congratulations!

Multi-frequency optical lattice for dynamic lattice-geometry control

We have developed a new scheme for tunable optical lattices that can switch, ramp or modulate between a honeycomb, boron-nitride and triangular lattice. We use it to prepare higher bands and to introduce a sublattice-modulation spectroscopy. Furthermore, we introduce the geometry phase as a new...

Formation of spontaneous density-wave patterns in DC driven lattices

In a collaboration with the theory group of Ludwig Mathey, we have observed and explained surprising density-wave patterns, which form in BECs in strongly tilted triangular optical lattices and sponteously break the discrete symmetry of the lattice.
