Seeing Quantum Weirdness: Superposition, Entanglement, and Tunneling

Long-lived entangelement of Bell state pairs compared to single unentangled atoms in a 3D optical lattice. The Bell state "stopwatch" ticks twice as fast than that of a single atom, holding the promise of higher stability and higher bandwidth for optical clocks.

An Atomic Game of Duck, Duck, Goose

Selected atoms (green) within doubly occupied sites of a 2D "Fermi Sea" are excited by a polarized laser pulse. Pauli blocking prevents decay of the excited atoms (red) as they can only decay into unoccupied sites (black).

Running in a Quantum Corn Maze and Getting Stuck in the Dark

Comparison of 2-level and 6-level atom decay paths. For 6-level systems, each state can potentially decay into several states and some of them might be dark due to destructive interference.
