Yesterday, we had the pleasure to host our colleagues from CNR-Nanotec in #Lecce for this fantastic workshop on #Quantum Fluids of Light and Matter!
We hope this will start a fruitful scientific discussion merging the worlds of #photons and #atoms at the quantum scale ❄️⚛️🔦

Blue repulsive potential for dysprosium Bose-Einstein condensates

Short-wavelength repulsive potentials for quantum gases allow one to realize new systems and to study new phenomena. Here we report the realization of repulsive optical potentials for dysprosium atoms...

Supersolids are a form of superfluid in which the density takes on a periodic pattern of high and low regions. Now researchers have demonstrated that supersolids, like superfluids, host tiny quantized swirls when rotated.

Supersolids Shown to Host Vortices

The experimental confirmation of supersolid vortices opens the prospect of making and studying laboratory analogues of rotating neutron stars.
