text: Atom-based quantum simulators have had many successes in tackling challenging
quantum many-body problems, owing to the precise and dynamical control that they
provide over the systems' parameters. They are, however, often optimized to address
a specific type of problem. Here, we present the design and implementation of
a 6Li-based quantum gas platform that provides wide-ranging capabilities and is
able to address a variety of quantum many-body problems. Our two-chamber architecture
relies on a robust combination of gray molasses and optical transport from a laser-cooling
chamber to a glass cell with excellent optical access. There, we first create
unitary Fermi superfluids in a three-dimensional axially symmetric harmonic trap
and characterize them using in situ thermometry, reaching temperatures below 20
nK. This allows us to enter the deep superfluid regime with samples of extreme
diluteness, where the interparticle spacing is sufficiently large for direct single-atom
imaging. Second, we generate optical lattice potentials with triangular and honeycomb
geometry in which we study diffraction of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates,
and show how going beyond the Kapitza-Dirac regime allows us to unambiguously
distinguish between the two geometries. With the ability to probe quantum many-body
physics in both discrete and continuous space, and its suitability for bulk and
single-atom imaging, our setup represents an important step towards achieving
a wide-scope quantum simulator.
