Temperature and localization of atoms in three-dimensional optical lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report temperature measurements of atoms trapped in a three-dimensional ~3D! optical lattice, a welldefined laser-cooling situation that can be treated with currently available theoretical tools. We also obtain fluorescence spectra from a 3D optical lattice, from which we obtain quantitative information about the trapping atoms, including the oscillation frequencies, spatial localization, and a temperature, which is in good agreement with our direct measurements. For comparison we study a 1D lattice using the same atom ~cesium!. @S1050-2947~97!50506-3#

Localization by entanglement
We study the localization of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice, which interact in a spatially confined region. The classical theory predicts that there is no localization below a threshold value for the strength of interaction that is inversely proportional to the number of participating atoms. In a full quantum treatment, however, we find that localized states exist for arbitrarily weak attr...

متن کاملSpin-orbit coupling and Berry phase with ultracold atoms in 2D optical lattices.
We show how spin-orbit coupling and Berry phase can appear in two-dimensional optical lattices by coupling atoms' internal degrees of freedom to radiation. The Rashba Hamiltonian, a standard description of spin-orbit coupling for two-dimensional electrons, is obtained for the atoms under certain circumstances. We discuss the possibility of observing associated phenomena, such as the anomalous H...

In this paper, the electron localization length was calculated numerically in a one-dimensional chain of atoms with random binary alloy. It is shown that in a one-dimensional finite-size chian of atoms, the localization length of the electron wave function decreases with increasing impurity concentration and with more increasing of the impurity concentration, the localization length becomes s...
متن کاملUltracold atoms in optical lattices: tunable quantum many-body systems
Cold atoms in optical lattices offer an exciting new laboratory where quantum many-body phenomena can be realized in a highly controlled way. They can even serve as quantum simulators for notoriously difficult problems like high-temperature superconductivity. This review is focussed on the recent developments and new results in multi-component systems. Fermionic atoms with SU(N) symmetry have e...
