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.

Controllable diffusion of cold atoms in a harmonically driven and tilted optical lattice: Decoherence by spontaneous emission Controllable Diffusion of Cold Atoms

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...

Transport 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...

Optical properties of a semi-infinite medium consist of graphene based hyperbolic meta-materials with tilted optical axis

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...

ABCD matrix for reflection and refraction of laser beam at tilted concave and convex elliptic paraboloid interfaces and studying laser beam reflection from a tilted concave parabola of revolution

Studying Gaussian beam is a method to investigate laser beam propagation and ABCD matrix is a fast and simple method to simulate Gaussian beam propagation in different mediums. Of the ABCD matrices studied so far, reflection and refraction matrices at various surfaces have attracted a lot of researches. However in previous work the incident beam and the principle axis of surface are in parallel...
