Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) provide excellent model systems to study quantum matter, with relevance in diverse fields ranging from condensed matter physics to cosmology.
I will describe our recent experiments on a BEC subject to a controllable disordered potential, which can drive the BEC from a superfluid to an insulator. The disorder introduces quantum and/or density fluctuations to the BEC and we have studied how these fluctuations evolve during the expansion of the BEC.
