摘 要: | Ultracold neutral atoms in higher bands of an optical lattice provide a natural avenue to emulate orbital physics in solid state materials. Here, we report the realization of 87Rb Bose–Einstein condensates in the fourth and seventh Bloch bands of a hexagonal boron-nitride optical lattice, exhibiting remarkably long coherence time through active cooling. Using band mapping spectroscopy, we observe that atoms condensed at the energy minimum of L point(K1 and K2 points) in the...
