Exploring nonequilibrium quantum phenomena with ultracold lithium*

Ultracold lithium atoms in optical lattices provide a versatile platform for investigation of non-equilibrium quantum systems. We report on the first dynamical realization of a relativistic harmonic oscillator, on experimental characterization of a Floquet phase diagram in a strongly-driven optical lattice, on the first experimental measurement of position-space center-of-mass Bloch oscillations, and on the observation of large-scale coherent transport in hybridized Floquet-Bloch bands.
