A multi-purpose quantum simulation setup with Lithium 6 atoms.

Quantum science has become an extremely active area of research, relying on physical realizations of large and well-controlled quantum systems. With quantum gases of ultracold atoms, experiments have had tremendous success in tackling quantum many-body problems, which are notoriously challenging, thanks to their capabilities to create quantum systems with incremental complexity. However, a limitation of the current approaches is that, typically, each quantum gas experiment is optimized to address a certain type of problems. One often has to choose between lattice or continuous systems, short or long-range interactions, single-particle detection or bulk measurements, etc. In this talk, we will present a design for a 6Li-based quantum gas platform that aims to provide wide-ranging capabilities, where one could address a variety of quantum problems that have historically been treated on different setups. The use of 6Li makes the setup suitable for the study of BEC-BCS physics, Fermi Hubbard Physics and Rydberg systems, while the architecture is compatible with a quantum gas microscope and tailored optical potentials. This two-chamber setup relies on robust and easy to implement techniques, allowing to produce low entropy ensembles of fermions with temperatures and atom numbers that are compatible with a wide range of many-body problems.
