Modulation spectroscopy with ultracold fermions in an optical lattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an experimental setup of ultracold fermions in an optical lattice to determine the pairing gap in a superfluid state and the spin ordering in a Mott-insulating state. The idea is to apply a periodic modulation of the lattice potential and to use the thereby induced double occupancy to probe the system. We show by full time-dependent calculation using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization-group method that the position of the peak in the spectrum of the induced double occupancy gives the pairing energy in a superfluid and the interaction energy in a Mott insulator, respectively. In the Mott insulator we relate the spectral weight of the peak to the spin ordering at finite temperature using perturbative calculations.

Modulation spectroscopy and dynamics of double occupancies in a fermionic Mott insulator.
Observing antiferromagnetic correlations in ultracold fermions on optical lattices is an important step towards quantum simulation of the repulsive Hubbard model. We show that optical lattice modulation spectroscopy can be used to detect antiferromagnetic order and probe the nature of quasiparticle excitations in a fermionic Mott insulator. At high temperatures, the rate of creation of double o...

Using a recently developed strong-coupling method, we present a comprehensive theory for doublon production processes in modulation spectroscopy of a three-dimensional system of ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice with a trap. The theoretical predictions compare well to the experimental time traces of doublon production. For experimentally feasible conditions, we provide a quantitat...

Using the exact Bethe ansatz solution of the Hubbard model and Luttinger liquid theory, we investigate the density profiles and collective modes of one-dimensional ultracold fermions confined in an optical lattice with a harmonic trapping potential. We determine a generic phase diagram in terms of a characteristic filling factor and a dimensionless coupling constant. The collective oscillations...
