Resonant tunneling of Bose–Einstein condensates in optical lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the theoretical as well as experimental results on resonantly enhanced tunneling of Bose–Einstein condensates in optical lattices both in the linear case and for small nonlinearities. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of condensates in optical lattices for simulating Hamiltonians originally used for describing solid-state phenomena. 6 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.

Quantum tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices under gravity.
We investigate the quantum tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices under gravity in the "Wannier-Stark localization" regime and "Landau-Zener tunneling" regime. Our results agree with experimental data [B. P. Anderson et al., Science 282, 1686 (1998); F. S. Cataliotti et al., Science 293, 843 (2001)]. We obtain the total decay rate which is valid over the entire range of temp...
متن کاملBloch Waves and Bloch Bands of Bose-Einstein Condensates in Optical Lattices
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in optical lattices have been attracting increasing attention from both theorists [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] and experimentalists [8, 9]. People are interested in how the interaction and coherence of this system affect the interesting phenomena observed with dilute cold atoms in optical lattices [10], such as LandauZener tunneling and Bloch oscillations. Recent studi...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in linear- and circular-chain optical lattices
We investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices that have a linear-or a circular-chain configuration with the tunneling couplings between nearest-neighbor lattice sites. A discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been solved for various initial conditions and for a definite range of repulsive and attractive interatomic interactions. It is shown tha...
متن کاملMany-body quantum physics of Josephson coupled Bose condensates
Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates are intrinsic many-body quantum systems. Many-body quantum effects become significant in low-dimensional systems and systems with strict symmetry constraints, degeneracy, or strong interaction. Examples include low-dimensional quantum gases, spinor condensates, rapidly rotating systems, strongly interacting systems, and condensed atoms loaded into deep multi-wel...
متن کاملEntanglement production with Bose atoms in optical lattices
A method of entanglement production is suggested, based on the resonant generation of topological modes in systems with Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in optical or magnetic lattices. The method makes it possible to regulate the strength of entanglement production as well as to govern its time variation. This method can serve as a practical tool for quantum information processing and quantum...
