Turbulence is an intriguing non-equilibrium state, which originates from fluid mechanics and has far-reaching consequences in the description of climate physics, the characterization of quantum hydrodynamics, and the understanding of cosmic evolution. The concept of turbulent cascade describing the energy redistribution across different length scales offers one profound route to reconcile fundamental conservative forces with observational energy non-conservation of accelerating expansion of the universe bypassing the cosmological constant. Here, we observe a dimension crossing turbulent energy cascade in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a two-dimensional (2d) optical lattice forming a 2d array of tubes, which exhibits universal behaviors in the dynamical energy-redistribution across different dimensions. By exciting atoms into the optical-lattice high bands, the excessive energy of this quantum many-body system is found to cascade from the transverse two-dimensional lattice directions to the continuous dimension, giving rise to a one-dimensional turbulent energy cascade, which is in general challenging to reach due to integrability. We expect this observed novel phenomenon of dimension-crossing energy cascade may inspire microscopic theories for modeling positive cosmological constant of our inflationary universe.
Scale-invariant fluxes are the defining property of turbulent cascades, but their direct measurement is a notorious problem. Here we perform such a measurement for a direct energy cascade in a turbulent quantum gas. Using a time-periodic force, we in
The production of molecules from dual species atomic quantum gases has enabled experiments that employ molecules at nanoKelvin temperatures. As a result, every degree of freedom of these molecules is in a well-defined quantum state and exquisitely co
We report on the realization of high resolution electron microscopy of Rydberg-excited ultracold atomic samples. The implementation of an ultraviolet laser system allows us to excite the atom, with a single-photon transition, to Rydberg states. By us
The low temperature unitary Bose gas is a fundamental paradigm in few-body and many-body physics, attracting wide theoretical and experimental interest. Here we first present a theoretical model that describes the dynamic competition between two-body
We study the stability of a thermal $^{39}$K Bose gas across a broad Feshbach resonance, focusing on the unitary regime, where the scattering length $a$ exceeds the thermal wavelength $lambda$. We measure the general scaling laws relating the particl
