First science from SQCRAMscope! We have imaged the electron nematic transport in iron-based pnictide high-Tc superconductors. Read about it here.

Interactions from Gouy phases

Two papers, here and here, show how Gouy phases modify photon-mediated interactions in multimode cavity QED. Both chosen for Editors' Suggestion and featured in APS Physicis... Read More

Dynamical Spin-Orbit Coupling

We demonstrated dynamical spin-orbit-coupling in a BEC for the first time using an optical cavity. The resulting state is a spinor-helix polarition condensate. Paper appeared in PRL.
