Many-body spin physics with quantum gases in a confocal cavity
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Ultracold gases confined inside optical cavities enjoy photon-mediated interactions enhanced by the cavity's cooperativity and have brought on new paradigms in many-body physics. Carefully engineered light-mediated interactions between multilevel atoms can render this a study of spin physics. In this dissertation I describe the realization of various exotic many-body spin phases in a cavity apparatus that can be tuned between a traditional single-mode configuration and multimode confocal geometry. I will demonstrate the realization of a spin-textured checkerboard, along with a checkerboard with dislocation. Then, the cavity is used to realize dynamical spin-orbit coupling. Finally, I demonstrate the realization of a novel, fully-connected, vector spin glass unique to the confocal cavity.
