Probing Nearest-Neighbor Correlations of Ultracold Fermions in an Optical Lattice

Probing Nearest-Neighbor Correlations of Ultracold Fermions in an Optical Lattice

We demonstrate a probe for nearest-neighbor correlations of fermionic quantum gases in optical lattices. It gives access to spin and density configurations of adjacent sites and relies on creating additional doubly occupied sites by perturbative lattice modulation. The measured correlations for different lattice temperatures are in good agreement with an …
