Superfluidity is a striking collective behavior of quantum fluids, characterized by a vanishing viscosity and frictionless flow, leading to features such as persistent currents, quantized vortices, and critical velocities for flow stability. In low dimensions however, and particularly in one-dimensional (1D) geometries, quantum fluctuations have an enhanced role, leading to significant differences compared to higher-dimensional ones, such as the predictions of a non-zero quantum friction force existing any flow velocity. The competition between this quantum friction force and the quasi long-range order in the system at low temperatures question the ‘standard’ definitions of superfluidity. The M2 internship project is based on a potassium BEC experiment, and the goal is the development and implementation of optical traps designed to confine Bose-Einstein condensates in tightly focused ring-shaped potentials. These traps are obtained by conveniently shaping the phase profile of laser beams using ‘spatial modulator devices’. Ultimately, these developments will allow the investigation of the fate of 1D superfluidity beyond the mean-field framework, validate analytical predictions and guide future theoretical directions beyond the current state-of-the-art.
