Ultracold atoms are a laboratory playground for studying emergent phenomena in many-body physics. The first conceptual step along the path from non-interacting (or mean-field) physics to many-body physics is via two-body interactions and correlations. Here, the diluteness of theses systems is appealing: the separation of scale between inter-atomic distances (typically over 100 nm) and the...

The observed dominance of matter over antimatter motivates precision comparisons of particles and antiparticles, where even extremely small differences could signal physics beyond the Standard Model. Antihydrogen, a positron bound to an antiproton, offers an exceptionally clean atomic system because its transition frequencies can be measured precisely and compared with the corresponding...

The lack of antimatter in our universe challenges our understanding of nature at a fundamental level. The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that matter and antimatter should exist in equal proportions in the universe, yet we live in a matter-dominated universe. One motivation for studying antimatter is to test whether subtle differences between matter and antimatter could point to...
