Exploring driven quantum matter with bosonic lithium

POSTER

Abstract



We report progress in experiments using bosonic lithium, useful for its low mass and tunable interactions, to explore disparate regimes of periodically driven quantum matter: adiabatic thermodynamic engine cycles with a Bose-condensed working fluid; Floquet engineering of a novel platform for continuously-trapped atom interferometry; the quantum Kapitza pendulum in a strongly-driven prethermal regime; and boundary-modulated quantum gases.
