Description
We report on experimental progress towards quantum gas microscopy of ultracold lithium-6 in low-noise optical lattices with tunable geometry. By overlapping a superlattice beam over a two-dimensional square lattice, our setup enables the site-resolved study of Fermi-Hubbard physics in triangular, hexagonal, dimerized and quasi-1D geometries. Such nonstandard bandstructures are believed to host a variety of exotic strongly correlated phases that are hard to characterize in condensed-matter systems, such as the proposed spin liquid state in the triangular lattice Hubbard model or the pseudogap phase of the square lattice model. Dynamically changing the lattice geometry further allows preparation protocols that may help reduce temperatures below the limits of current experiments. Together with low heating rates provided by technical improvements on lattice noise and stability, this may help reach the yet unexplored low-temperature regime of the Hubbard phase diagram.
