Insights into complex phenomena in quantum matter can be gained from simulation experiments with ultracold atoms, especially in cases where theoretical characterization is challenging. However, these experiments are mostly limited to short-range collisional interactions; recently observed perturbative effects of long-range interactions were too weak to reach new quantum phases. Here we experimentally realize a bosonic lattice model with competing short- and long-range interactions, and...

Quantum phases from competing short- and long-range interactions in an optical lattice

Q&A: Box co-founder Dylan Smith on going public, and competing (and partnering) with Microsoft
It’s been a big year for Box. The fast-growing cloud storage powerhouse went public in January after a few fits and starts, raising $ 158 million and positioning the Los Altos, California-based company for big things ahead. The stock slumped in recent months below its IPO price, and Box now is valued at $...
