The results of the investigation have shown how the optical lattice has to be dimensioned and how many atoms may be stored in it to operate a very accurate lattice clock also with strontium-88.
Also addressed by the lectures are such aspects as basic static and dynamical properties, molecule formation, superfluid behavior and Bose-Einstein Condensation/Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover, fermions in optical lattices, and Fermi-Bose mixtures.
Recent neutron inelastic scattering measurements at the NCNR have demonstrated a direct relationship between the lowest-frequency transverse optical lattice vibration and the polar nanostructure, thereby resolving a long-standing discrepancy between prior x-ray and neutron results.
