Abstract

Read online

The ability to produce polar molecules in an optical lattice is used to prepare a system where occupied lattice sites contain a Bose-Fermi doublon. Here, the authors apply this approach to optimize the polar molecule creation process and to study complex out-of-equilibrium Bose-Fermi-Hubbard dynamics.
