Atom and spin resolved imaging in a single shot

Abstract:

We report on an imaging scheme for quantum gases that enables simultaneous detection of two spin states with single-atom resolution. It utilizes the polarization of the emitted photons during fluorescence by choosing appropriate internal states of lithium-6 atoms in a magnetic field. This scheme can readily be implemented to obtain in-situ spin correlations in a wide variety of experimental settings.
