Measuring Correlations in a Double Well with Single-Atom Imaging — •Vincent M. Klinkhamer, Andrea Bergschneider, Jan Hendrik Becher, Philine L. Bommer, Justin F. Niedermeyer, Gerhard Zürn, Philipp M.

We deterministically prepare quantum states of two interacting Lithium atoms in an optical double-well potential. To recover the occupation number on the sites, we detect individual atoms with our new spin-resolved fluorescence imaging. However, interesting properties such as the symmetry between particles cannot be measured in this way. Therefore we measure the momenta of the individual atoms after time-of-flight expansion. This allows us to determine the correlations between two atoms with high contrast.
