Continuous measurement of an atomic current

Atomic current across an optical lattice.

We devise a microscopic model for the emergence of a collision-induced, fermionic atomic current across a tilted optical lattice. Tuning the--experimentally controllable--parameters of the microscopic dynamics allows us to switch from Ohmic to negative differential conductance.

Observation of quantum-measurement backaction with an ultracold atomic gas

Current research on micromechanical resonators strives for quantum-limited detection of the motion of macroscopic objects. Prerequisite to this goal is the observation of measurement backaction consistent with quantummetrology limits. However, thermal noise currently dominates measurements and precludes ground-state preparation of the resonator. Here, we establish the collective motion of an ul...

On an atomic decomposition in Banach spaces

An atomic decomposition is considered in Banach space.  A method for constructing an atomic decomposition of Banach  space, starting with atomic decomposition of  subspaces  is presented. Some relations between them are established. The proposed method is used in the  study  of the  frame  properties of systems of eigenfunctions and associated functions of discontinuous differential operators.

High - Current Field Emission from an Atomic Quantum Wire

Linear chains of carbon atoms have been proposed [1] as the electron emitting structures of open tip carbon nanotubes subject to an electric field. To better understand the implications of the results of Smalley and collaborators, the electromagnetic response of linear carbon chains to both static and dynamics fields have been studied, making use of ab-initio methods. It is found that the assoc...
