Ultracold atoms in an optical lattice with dynamically variable periodicity

The use of a dynamic "accordion" lattice with ultracold atoms is demonstrated. Ultracold atoms of Rb87 are trapped in a two-dimensional optical lattice, and the spacing of the lattice is then increased in both directions from 2.2 to 5.5 μm. Atoms remain bound for expansion times as short a...
