Observation of Light-Induced Dipole-Dipole Forces in Ultracold Atomic Gases

Light-matter interaction is well understood on the single-atom level and routinely used to manipulate atomic gases. However, in denser ensembles, collective effects emerge that are caused by light-induced dipole-dipole interactions and multiple photon scattering. Here, we report on the observation o...
