Probing driven quantum systems with ultracold lithium in optical lattices

POSTER

Abstract

Ultracold lithium atoms in optical lattices provide a flexible playground for the experimental study of driven quantum systems. We describe recent progress on a variety of experiments along these lines, including both topological and polychromatic Floquet-band engineering, continuously-trapped atom interferometry, and the investigation of many-body dynamical localization in an interacting quantum kicked rotor.
