Atomic motion in tilted optical lattices

چکیده
Abstract This paper presents a formalism describing the dynamics of a quantum particle in a onedimensional, time-dependent, tilted lattice. The formalism uses the Wannier-Stark states, which are localized in each site of the lattice, and provides a simple framework allowing fully-analytical developments. Analytic solutions describing the particle motion are explicit derived, and the resulting dynamics is studied.

The cold atoms on optical lattices provide a paradigmatic model to test some novel quantum phenomena predicted half century back for metallic systems[1,2]. With the advancements in cold atom physics and optical laser technology, it is now possible to precisely control and measure various physical parameters. Cold atoms on optical lattices constitute clean quantum systems as compared to solid st...
متن کاملTransport of strong-coupling polarons in optical lattices
We study the transport of ultracold impurity atoms immersed in a BoseEinstein condensate (BEC) and trapped in a tight optical lattice. Within the strongcoupling regime, we derive an extended Hubbard model describing the dynamics of the impurities in terms of polarons, i.e. impurities dressed by a coherent state of Bogoliubov phonons. Using a generalized master equation based on this microscopic...

In this paper, the optical properties of a semi-infinite medium composed of graphen-based hyperbolic meta-materials with the optical axis were tilted with respect to its boundary with air, by using the Maxwell equations; then the homogeneous effective medium approximation method was studied. The results showed that the orientation of the structure layers (geometric induced anisotropy) affec...
