Probing quantum dynamics with strongly driven ultracold atoms

Degenerate gases in modulated optical lattices are a flexible testbed for the experimental study of quantum matter driven far from equilibrium. I will present results from a sequence of recent experiments exploring localization and coherent control of transport in driven quasicrystals. Time permitting, I will also discuss a new tweezer-based degenerate gas platform under construction at UC Santa Barbara which aims at the study of quantum interactive matter.
