Magnetic domains could not be resolved. Why?
Stoner InstabilityNew feature of cold atoms systems: non-adiabatic crossing of Uc
Screening of U (Kanamori) occurs on times 1/EF
Two timescales in the system: screening and magnetic domain formation
Magnetic domain formation takes place on much longer time scales: critical slowing down

Doublon can decay into apair of quasiparticles with many particle-hole pairs

Superlattice was a usefultool for observing magneticsuperexchange.
Can we use it to createand observe d-wavepairing?
Minimal system exhibitingd-wave pairing is a 4-siteplaquette

For weak coupling there are two possible competing configurations:
VS4 2 , 42 3 3
Which one is lower in energy is determined by the binding energy
1. Prepare 4 atoms in a single plaquette: A plaquette is the minimum system that exhibits d-wave symmetry.
3. Weakly connect the 2D array to realize and study a superfluid exhibiting long range d-wave correlations.
Melt the plaquettes into a 2D lattice, experimentally explore the regime unaccessible to theory
4.
2. Connect two plaquettes into a superplaquette and study the dynamics of a d-wave pair. Use it to measure the pairing gap.
