A very short movie called “Attack of the Killer Legos” shows that the building blocks of a future film career are already in place for 14-year-old Carlos Key of Seattle.
Key’s film won the youth category in the Seattle International Film Festival’s “3 Minute Masterpiece” digital film contest and employs a combination of cinematic techniques including stop-motion animation and forced perspective to create what Key refers to as...
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...
