It's no secret that it takes time to build up a new experiment capable of trapping ultracold atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice potential, then manipulating them for the purposes of quantum sensing and simulation. This is precisely what my research group in Bristol (the Generally Experimental Control and Kwantum Optimization, or GECKO group) has been doing for the past couple of years. While we aren't quite there yet, I want to tell you about what we plan to do once we get there. However, my group has been hard at work in other ways.
In this talk, I’ll take you on a tour of some of the work my group, my collaborators, and I have done in the past few years. I’ll describe the birth of my research group by discussing our hot atom vapour magnetometer before diving into the fun we’ve been having studying how to control single, ultracold atoms in optical lattices, as well as our efforts in building a machine that can implement some of these studies.
