Thermal versus quantum fluctuations of optical-lattice fermions
We show that, for fermionic atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice, the fraction of atoms in doubly occupied sites is a highly nonmonotonic function of temperature. We demonstrate that this property persists even in the presence of realistic harmonic confinement, and that it leads to a suppression of entropy at intermediate temperatures that offers a route to adiabatic cooling. Our interpre...
متن کاملInteracting Bose Gas in an Optical Lattice
A grand canonical system of hard-core bosons in an optical lattice is considered. The bosons can occupy randomly N equivalent states at each lattice site. The limit N → ∞ is solved exactly in terms of a saddle-point integration, representing a weakly-interacting Bose gas. In the limit N → ∞ there is only a condensate if the fugacity of the Bose gas is larger than 1. Corrections in 1/N increase ...
متن کاملDressed molecules in an optical lattice
We present the theory of an atomic gas in an optical lattice near a Feshbach resonance. We derive from first principles a generalized Hubbard model, that incorporates all the relevant two-body physics exactly, except for the background atom-atom scattering. For most atoms the background interactions are negligible, but this is not true for Li, which has an exceptionally large background scatter...
متن کاملMesoscopic quantum coherence in an optical lattice
We observe the quantum coherent dynamics of atomic spinor wave packets in the double-well potentials of a far-off-resonance optical lattice. With appropriate initial conditions the system Rabi oscillates between the left and right localized states of the ground doublet, and at certain times the wave packet corresponds to a coherent superposition of these mesoscopically distinct quantum states. ...
متن کاملNarrow line photoassociation in an optical lattice.
With ultracold 88Sr in a 1D magic wavelength optical lattice, we performed narrow-line photoassociation spectroscopy near the 1S0 - 3P1 intercombination transition. Nine least-bound vibrational molecular levels associated with the long-range 0u and 1u potential energy surfaces were measured and identified. A simple theoretical model accurately describes the level positions and treats the effect...
