Phase transition is a popular phenomena in nature, while the temperature below the critical temperature, the normal Bose gas would take transition to quantum gas, which behaves as superfluid [1, 2]. For an optical lattice, optical lattice depth is also a parameter which will alter the lattice from superfluid phase to Mott phase [3]. For 1 D optical lattice, there will be BKT phase transition while the temperature decrease from above to bellow the critical temperature. These cases happen at the ground band of optical lattice, for the excited bands, there are more interesting phenomena to be happen such as Bloch oscillation and Bloch-Zener oscillation [4, 5]. We developed several approaches to measure these transitions and manipulation of the phase for transitions [6]. It will be interested if one could to get much low critical temperature, such as pK, we proposed two step cross beam cooling (TSC) [7, 8], which will be demonstrated on the ultracold atom rack which is due to be launched with Chinese space station in 2022. Many challenge phase transition experiments will be implemented in Chinese space station.
