Morie microscopy and validation
Conclusion • Super resolution based on strong optical pumping – Resolution (FWHM) = 32(3) nm – Localization resolution 1 = 400 pm • Super fast imaging at 1 s – No measurement backaction – No cooling is needed • Morie magnification from nanometer to millimeter • Observations – Inhomogeneity of temperature and lattice parameters – Coherent, anharmonic dynamics within a lattice site

Super resolution imaging in optical lattices • Super resolution imaging based on non-linear optical response? (Typically 50 nm in biological microscopy) • Can we do better localization resolution (2 nm) than biologists and ion trappers? • Can we see wavefunctions and what physics can we learn from super imaging?
