A team of researchers in Florence observed the formation of #quantum droplet arrays in ultra-cold atom mixtures. The phenomenon is caused by surface tension, leading to the breakup of atomic filaments into droplets. Read the study, published in Physical Review Letters: bit.ly/4c1nUF1
#CNR
For the centenary of the birth of quantum mechanics, @apsphysics.bsky.social has selected this work on Ultracold #LiCr molecules for their #IYQ collection, among those highly interdisciplinary papers impacting the next decade of #Quantum science βοΈ

Many researchers at LENS are making impactful contributions to the NQSTI project, working across atomic, photonic, and ion platforms, as well as in quantum optics and quantum information.
Here's a picture from the NQSTI congress in Rome!

We achieve 40% single-atom occupancy, with atoms randomly distributed across the array. This work is a significant step towards the preparation of defect-free arrays of single atoms in optical tweezers, which will be the starting point for future quantum simulation experiments.

The video shows a sequence of experimental cycles, where the presence of atoms is detected via fluorescence imaging. After loading multiple atoms in each optical tweezer, the occupancy is reduced to either zero or one atom exploiting light-assisted collisions.
