Tracking quasiclassical chaos in ultracold boson gases.

چکیده
We study the dynamics of an ultracold boson gas in a lattice submitted to a constant force. We track the route of the system towards chaos created by the many-body-induced nonlinearity and show that relevant information can be extracted from an experimentally accessible quantity, the gas mean position. The threshold nonlinearity for the appearance of chaotic behavior is deduced from Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser arguments and agrees with the value obtained by calculating the associated Lyapunov exponent.

Coherent Control of Trapped Bosons
We investigate the quantum behavior of a mesoscopic two-boson system produced by number-squeezing ultracold gases of alkali metal atoms. The quantum Poincare maps of the wavefunctions are affected by chaos in those regions of the phase space where the classical dynamics produces features that are comparable to h̄. We also investigate the possibility for quantum control in the dynamics of excitat...
متن کاملMolecule formation in ultracold atomic gases
This review describes recent experimental and theoretical advances in forming molecules in ultracold gases of trapped alkali metal atoms, both by magnetic tuning through Feshbach resonances and by photoassociation. Molecular Bose-Einstein condensation of long-range states of both boson dimers and fermion dimers was achieved in 2002-3. Condensates of boson dimers were found to be short-lived, bu...
متن کاملUltracold superstrings in atomic boson-fermion mixtures.
We propose a setup with ultracold atomic gases that can be used to make a nonrelativistic superstring in four spacetime dimensions. In particular, we consider for the creation of the superstring a fermionic atomic gas that is trapped in the core of a vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We explain the required tuning of experimental parameters to achieve supersymmetry between the fermionic ato...
متن کاملFirst-principles quantum dynamics for fermions: Application to molecular dissociation
We demonstrate that the quantum dynamics of a many-body Fermi-Bose system can be simulated using a Gaussian phase-space representation method. In particular, we consider the application of the mixed fermion-boson model to ultracold quantum gases and simulate the dynamics of dissociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of bosonic dimers into pairs of fermionic atoms. We quantify deviations of atom...
متن کاملStrong-coupling perturbation theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model
We develop a strong-coupling perturbation theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor boson-boson repulsions on d 1 -dimensional hypercubic lattices. Analytical expressions for the ground-state phase boundaries between the incompressible Mott or charge-density-wave insulators and the compressible superfluid or supersolid phases are derived up to third order in t...
