摘要:

Mott 绝缘体与超流体之间的相变是超冷原子领域最显著的现象之一。在本工作中,我们报道了在振动光晶格中观测到的一种新型二维量子相变,即 Mott 绝缘体与 $π$ 超流体之间的相变。在深光晶格区域,最低的 $s$ 能带可被调控至 Mott 相,而较高的 $p_{x,y}$ 能带因具有更大带宽而呈巡游性。通过一种将 $s$ 轨道与 $p_{x,y}$ 轨道态耦合的振动技术,我们在实验上观测到 $s$ 能带与 $p_{x,y}$ 能带态之间的转变,从而产生从二维 $s$ 轨道 Mott 相到在 $(π,π)$ 动量处凝聚的 $p_{x,y}$ 轨道超流体的量子相变。

英文摘要:

The Mott insulator and superfluid phase transition is one of the most prominent phenomena in ultracold atoms. In this work, we report the observation of a novel 2D quantum phase transition between Mott insulator and $π$ superfluid in a shaking optical lattice. In the deep optical lattice regime, the lowest $s$-band can be tuned to Mott phase, while the higher $p_{x,y}$ bands are itinerant for having larger bandwidth. Through a shaking technique coupling the $s$ orbital to $p_{x,y}$ orbital states, we experimentally observe the transition between the states of the $s$ and $p_{x,y}$ bands, leading to a quantum phase transition from 2D $s$-orbital Mott phase to the $p_{x,y}$-orbital superfluid which condensed at $(π,π)$ momentum.
