Guillaume completed his PhD at the University of Queensland under the supervision of Dr. Tyler Neely. He now is a postdoc on the DST-Group inertial sensing project.
All light has structure, but only recently it has become possible to construct highly con- trollable and precise potentials so that most laboratories can harness light for their spe- cific applications.
We experimentally realize a highly tunable superfluid oscillator circuit in a quantum gas of ultracold atoms and develop and verify a simple lumped-element description of this circuit.
Adding energy to a system through transient stirring usually leads to more disorder. In contrast, point-like vortices in a bounded two-dimensional fluid are predicted to reorder above a certain energy, forming persistent vortex clusters.
The development of novel trapping potentials for degenerate quantum gases has been an important factor driving experimental progress in the field. The introduction of spatial light modulators (SLMs) into quantum gas laboratories means that a range of configurable geometries are now possible.
