New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a give thesis/dissertation in DRUM

    Microscopy of elongated superfluids

    This thesis covers three experiments with cold and ultracold (Bose-Einstein condensate based) alkali Rb-87 gases for quantum simulation. In the first experiment, we quantum simulate Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields in the parameter space of a four-level quantum system. Then, we describe the experimental framework to perform optimal in-situ microscopy of elongated quantum gases. We then study the thermodynamics of individual one-dimensional Bose gases using in-situ resonant absorption imaging. Finally, we combine holographic microscopy and impulse correlations to digitally enhance our absorption images.
