Ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices
Ultracold bosonic and fermionic quantum gases are versatile and robust systems for probing fundamental condensed-matter physics problems1–12, as well as fi nding applications in quantum optics and quantum information processing13 and understanding atomic and molecular physics14,15. Storing such ultracold quantum gases in artifi cial periodic potentials of light has opened innovative manipulatio...
متن کاملUltracold quantum gases in triangular optical lattices
Over recent years, exciting developments in the field of ultracold atoms confined in optical lattices have led to numerous theoretical proposals devoted to the quantum simulation of problems e.g. known from condensed matter physics. Many of those ideas demand experimental environments with non-cubic lattice geometries. In this paper, we report on the implementation of a versatile three-beam lat...
متن کاملFrom Quantum Cellular Automata to Quantum Lattice Gases
A natural architecture for nanoscale quantum computation is that of a quantum cellular automaton. Motivated by this observation, in this paper we begin an investigation of exactly unitary cellular automata. After proving that there can be no nontrivial, homogeneous, local, unitary, scalar cellular automaton in one dimension, we weaken the homogeneity condition and show that there are nontrivial...
متن کاملOptical Pumping
T he rather odd term optical pumping means just what it says. In general “pumping” is a process of raising matter from lower to higher energy; for example, raising the potential energy of water hy moving it from an underground well to an elevated tank. In this article we shall he concerned w i t h the pumping of individual atoms from lower to higher states of internal energy. The word optical r...
متن کاملOptical Pumping
Optical pumping uses light to affect the internal degrees of freedom of a sample of atoms in a vapor. These internal degrees of freedom are angular momentum states of the atomic ground state, which are populated when light is absorbed and emitted. This experiment reveals many phenomena of quantum mechanics including angular momentum selection rules, the density matrix, and resonance. Optical pu...
