Fermi-Hubbard physics with atoms in an optical lattice

T Esslinger - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2010 - annualreviews.org
The Fermi-Hubbard model is a key concept in condensed matter physics and provides
crucial insights into electronic and magnetic properties of materials. Yet, the intricate nature …

Periodic thermodynamics of isolated quantum systems

A Lazarides, A Das, R Moessner - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
The nature of the behavior of an isolated many-body quantum system periodically driven in
time has been an open question since the beginning of quantum mechanics. After an initial …

Nonequilibrium dynamics of bosonic atoms in optical lattices: Decoherence of many-body states due to spontaneous emission

H Pichler, AJ Daley, P Zoller - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2010 - APS
We analyze in detail the heating of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice due to incoherent
scattering of light from the lasers forming the lattice. Because atoms scattered into higher …

Out‐of‐Equilibrium Dynamics of the Bose‐Hubbard Model

MP Kennett - International Scholarly Research Notices, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The Bose‐Hubbard model is the simplest model of interacting bosons on a lattice. It has
recently been the focus of much attention due to the realization of this model with cold atoms …

Directed transport in driven optical lattices by gauge generation

CE Creffield, F Sols - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2011 - APS
We examine the dynamics of ultracold atoms held in optical-lattice potentials. By controlling
the switching of a periodic driving potential we show how a phase-induced renormalization …

Complexity of controlling quantum many-body dynamics

T Caneva, A Silva, R Fazio, S Lloyd, T Calarco… - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We demonstrate that arbitrary time evolutions of many-body quantum systems can be
reversed even in cases when only part of the Hamiltonian can be controlled. The reversed …

Multi-band spectroscopy of inhomogeneous Mott-insulator states of ultracold bosons

D Clément, N Fabbri, L Fallani, C Fort… - New Journal of …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
In this work, we use inelastic scattering of light to study the response of inhomogeneous Mott-
insulator gases to external excitations. The experimental setup and procedure to probe the …

Floquet-induced superfluidity with periodically modulated interactions of two-species hardcore bosons in a one-dimensional optical lattice

T Wang, S Hu, S Eggert, M Fleischhauer, A Pelster… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
We consider two species of hard-core bosons with density-dependent hopping in a one-
dimensional optical lattice, for which we propose experimental realizations using time …

Schwinger-Keldysh approach to out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model with time-varying hopping

MP Kennett, D Dalidovich - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2011 - APS
We study the real-time dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of time-
dependent hopping, allowing for a finite-temperature initial state. We use the Schwinger …

Controlling a quantum system via its boundary conditions

C Duffin, AG Dijkstra - The European Physical Journal D, 2019 - Springer
We numerically study a particle in a box with moving walls. In the case where the walls are
oscillating sinusoidally with a small amplitude, we show that states up to the fourth state can …
