«Moreover, owing to the advantages of the full controllability, we expect that the present work shall push forward future studies in ultracold atom experiments of interacting SPT phases, which are broadly discussed in theory but very hard to investigate in solid - state materials,» explained Gyu - Booong Jo, assistant professor at the HKUST Department of Physics and co-author of the paper.

«This work is indeed the first experimental realization of an SPT phase for ultracold atoms, which opens a great deal of possibilities to simulate and probe novel SPT physics.,» Prof Liu added.

Without meaning to, Esslinger's team created what amounts to an atomic analogue of this using optical trapping, in which criss - crossing laser beams are used to corral ultracold atoms.

The researchers focused the smaller laser beams through the cloud of ultracold atoms and found that each beam's focus — the point at which the beam's intensity was highest — attracted a single atom, essentially picking it out from the cloud and holding it in place.

The result is a theoretical tool that can predict the important Efimov properties, namely the energies of the Efimov states, the widths of those states (essentially the fuzziness of our knowledge of the precise energy value), and the rates at which the three - particle states will form inside a gas of ultracold atoms.
