Ian Spielman

• Studying the Bose-Hubbard model for ultra-cold rubidium atoms in an optical lattice.
• Creating magneto-optical configurations that can make charge-neutral bosons move like charged particles in a magnetic field.
• Constructing a hybrid Bose-Fermi experiment to study fermions and mixtures of fermions and bosons in optical lattices -- a configuration that may exhibit phenomena analogous to high-temperature superconductivity.
