Incommensurate superfluidity of bosons in a double-well optical lattice.
We study bosons in the first excited Bloch band of a double-well optical lattice, recently realized at NIST. By calculating the relevant parameters from a realistic nonseparable lattice potential, we find that in the most favorable cases, the boson lifetime in the first excited band can be several orders of magnitude longer than the typical nearest-neighbor tunneling time scales, in contrast wi...
متن کاملResonant activation in a nonadiabatically driven optical lattice.
We demonstrate the phenomenon of resonant activation in a nonadiabatically driven dissipative optical lattice with broken time symmetry. The resonant activation results in a resonance as a function of the driving frequency in the current of atoms through the periodic potential. We demonstrate that the resonance is produced by the interplay between deterministic driving and fluctuations, and we ...
متن کاملCounterflow superfluidity of two-species ultracold atoms in a commensurate optical lattice.
In the Mott-insulator regime, two species of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice can exhibit the low-energy counterflow motion. We construct effective Hamiltonians for the three classes of the two-species (fermion-fermion, boson-boson, and boson-fermion-type) insulators and reveal the conditions when the resulting ground state supports super-counter-fluidity (SCF), with the alternative being ...
متن کاملStrong-coupling expansion for ultracold bosons in an optical lattice at finite temperatures in the presence of superfluidity
We develop a strong-coupling (t U ) expansion technique for calculating the density profile for bosonic atoms trapped in an optical lattice with an overall harmonic trap at finite temperature and finite on-site interaction in the presence of superfluid regions. Our results match well with quantum Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature. We also show that the superfluid order parameter nev...
متن کاملLoss of superfluidity in a Bose-Einstein condensate on an optical lattice via a novel classical phase transition
We predict the loss of superfluidity in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a combined optical and axially-symmetric harmonic potentials during a resonant collective excitation initiated by a periodic modulation of the atomic scattering length a, when the modulation frequency equals twice the radial trapping frequency or multiples thereof. This classical dynamical transition is marked b...
