<b>Date:<span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></b>Monday, 20/1/14<br>

<b>Abstract:</b> Loading ultracold atomic gases in optically induced lattices is an indispensable ingredient in realizing interesting Hamiltonians and thus a cornerstone of quantum emulation. In this talk we will first discuss how Bragg scattering of light
off an atomic crystal can probe the superfluid to Mott insulator transition and provide insight to the evolution of quantum wavefunctions. Finally, we will report on the recent observation of the celebrated Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian - known to govern the
motion of electrons under the influence of a uniform magnetic field - in a system of ultracold rubidium atoms.<br>
