Trotterized Optical Lattice as a 3D Disordered Hamiltonian

ORAL

Abstract

We discuss our Trotterized implementation of a disordered Hamiltonian that maintains isotropy in two of three dimensions through the use of a high NA pulsed accordion lattice. The optical potential and atomic cloud can be characterized in situ using the same 1 $\mu m$ imaging system with every shot, allowing a precise comparison between models of the sliding phase and our particular approximations of its Hamiltonian.
