We present a complete recipe to extract the density-density correlations and the static structure factor of a two-dimensional (2D) atomic quantum gas from in situ imaging. Using images of non-interacting thermal gases, we characterize and remove the systematic contributions of imaging aberrations to the measured density-density correlations of atomic samples. We determine the static structure factor and report results on weakly interacting 2D Bose gases, as well as strongly interacting gases in a 2D optical lattice. In the strongly interacting regime, we observe a strong suppression of the static structure factor at long wavelengths.

Precise control of magnetic fields is a frequent challenge encountered in experiments with atomic quantum gases. Here we present a simple method for performing in-situ monitoring of magnetic fields that can readily be implemented in any quantum-gas a
pparatus in which a dedicated field-stabilization approach is not possible. The method, which works by sampling several Rabi resonances between magnetically field sensitive internal states that are not otherwise used in a given experiment, can be integrated with standard measurement sequences at arbitrary fields. For a condensate of $^{87}$Rb atoms, we demonstrate the reconstruction of Gauss-level bias fields with an accuracy of tens of microgauss and with millisecond time resolution. We test the performance of the method using measurements of slow resonant Rabi oscillations on a magnetic-field sensitive transition, and give an example for its use in experiments with state-selective optical potentials.
We study the emergence of density waves in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) when the strength of dipole-dipole atomic interactions is periodically varied in time. The proposed theoretical model, based on the evolution of small perturbations of
the background density, allows to compute the growth rate of instability (gain factor) for arbitrary set of input parameters, thus to identify the regions of instability against density waves. We find that among other modes of the system the roton mode is most effectively excited due to the contribution of sub-harmonics of the excitation frequency. The frequency of temporal oscillations of emerging density waves coincides with the half of the driving frequency, this being the hallmark of the parametric resonance, is characteristic to Faraday waves. The possibility to create density waves in dipolar BECs, which can persist after the emergence, has been demonstrated. The existence of a stationary spatially periodic solution of the nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation has been discussed. The effect of three-body atomic interactions, which is relevant to condensates with increased density, upon the properties of emerging waves has been analyzed too. Significant modification of the condensates excitation spectrum owing to three-body effects is shown.
We investigate theoretically the evolution of the two-point density correlation function of a low-dimensional ultracold Bose gas after release from a tight transverse confinement. In the course of expansion thermal and quantum fluctuations present in
the trapped systems transform into density fluctuations. For the case of free ballistic expansion relevant to current experiments, we present simple analytical relations between the spectrum of ``density ripples and the correlation functions of the original confined systems. We analyze several physical regimes, including weakly and strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose gases and two-dimensional (2D) Bose gases below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. For weakly interacting 1D Bose gases, we obtain an explicit analytical expression for the spectrum of density ripples which can be used for thermometry. For 2D Bose gases below the BKT transition, we show that for sufficiently long expansion times the spectrum of the density ripples has a self-similar shape controlled only by the exponent of the first-order correlation function. This exponent can be extracted by analyzing the evolution of the spectrum of density ripples as a function of the expansion time.
In this letter we propose a method to realize a kind of spin-orbit coupling in ultracold Bose and Fermi gases whose format and strength depend on density of atoms. Our method combines two-photon Raman transition and periodical modulation of spin-depe
ndent interaction, which gives rise to the direct Raman process and the interaction assisted Raman process, and the latter depends on density of atoms. These two processes have opposite effects in term of spin-momentum locking and compete with each other. As the interaction modulation increases, the system undergoes a crossover from the direct Raman process dominated regime to the interaction assisted Raman process dominated regime. For this crossover, we show that for bosons, both the condensate momentum and the chirality of condensate wave function change sign, and for fermions, the Fermi surface distortion is inverted. We highlight that there exists an emergent spatial reflection symmetry in the crossover regime, which can manifest itself universally in both Bose and Fermi gases. Our method paves a way to novel phenomena in a non-abelian gauge field with intrinsic dynamics.
Recently there has been renewed interest in second sound in superfluid Bose and Fermi gases. By using two-fluid hydrodynamic theory, we review the density response $chi_{nn}(bq,omega)$ of these systems as a tool to identify second sound in experiment
s based on density probes. Our work generalizes the well-known studies of the dynamic structure factor $S(bq,omega)$ in superfluid $^4$He in the critical region. We show that, in the unitary limit of uniform superfluid Fermi gases, the relative weight of second vs. first sound in the compressibility sum rule is given by the Landau--Placzek ratio $lpequiv (bar{c}_p-bar{c}_v)/bar{c}_v$ for all temperatures below $T_c$. In contrast to superfluid $^4$He, $lp$ is much larger in strongly interacting Fermi gases, being already of order unity for $T sim 0.8 T_c$, thereby providing promising opportunities to excite second sound with density probes. The relative weights of first and second sound are quite different in $S(bq,omega)$ (measured in pulse propagation studies) as compared to $mathrm{Im}chi_{nn}(bq,omega)$ (measured in two-photon Bragg scattering). We show that first and second sound in $S(bq,omega)$ in a strongly interacting Bose-condensed gas are similar to those in a Fermi gas at unitarity. However, in a weakly interacting Bose gas, first and second sound are mainly uncoupled oscillations of the thermal cloud and condensate, respectively, and second sound has most of the spectral weight in $S(bq,omega)$. We also discuss the behaviour of the superfluid and normal fluid velocity fields involved in first and second sound.
