Experimental realization of a relativistic harmonic oscillator

We report the experimental study of a harmonic oscillator in the relativistic regime. The oscillator is composed of Bose-condensed lithium atoms in the third band of an optical lattice, which have an energy–momentum relation nearly identical to that of a massive relativistic particle, with an effect...
