BEC4

The rubidium quantum gas microscope lab at MIT

Welcome to our lab!

Welcome to the website of BEC4! Our research focuses on exploring the world of spinful ultracold atoms, where many new and interesting phenomena occur.

We have a newly constructed rubidium quantum gas microscope! Using a high-resolution objective lens, we can detect the positions of single atoms trapped in an optical lattice. This advance has opened the door to studies of quantum simulation and atom-light interfaces in new regimes. Learn more about the science we are exploring on this experimental platform in the next section.
