Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

O Morsch, M Oberthaler - Reviews of modern physics, 2006 - APS
Matter waves inside periodic potentials are well known from solid-state physics, where
electrons interacting with a crystal lattice are considered. Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates …

Josephson junction arrays with Bose-Einstein condensates

FS Cataliotti, S Burger, C Fort, P Maddaloni, F Minardi… - Science, 2001 - science.org

array of Josephson junctions realized with an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The array is …

Bright Bose-Einstein gap solitons of atoms with repulsive interaction

B Eiermann, T Anker, M Albiez, M Taglieber… - Physical review …, 2004 - APS
We report on the first experimental observation of bright matter wave solitons for Rb 87
atoms with repulsive atom-atom interaction. This counterintuitive situation arises inside a …

Dynamical phase transitions and instabilities in open atomic many-body systems

S Diehl, A Tomadin, A Micheli, R Fazio, P Zoller - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We discuss an open driven-dissipative many-body system, in which the competition of
unitary Hamiltonian and dissipative Liouvillian dynamics leads to a nonequilibrium phase …

Cloaking of matter waves

S Zhang, DA Genov, C Sun, X Zhang - Physical Review Letters, 2008 - APS
Invariant transformation for quantum mechanical systems is proposed. A cloaking of matter
wave can be realized at given energy by designing the potential and effective mass of the …

Quantum phases of dipolar bosons in optical lattices

K Góral, L Santos, M Lewenstein - Physical Review Letters, 2002 - APS
The ground state of dipolar bosons placed in an optical lattice is analyzed. We show that the
modification of experimentally accessible parameters can lead to the realization and control …

Bloch oscillations and mean-field effects of Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D optical lattices

O Morsch, JH Müller, M Cristiani, D Ciampini… - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
Abstract We have loaded Bose-Einstein condensates into one-dimensional, off-resonant
optical lattices and accelerated them by chirping the frequency difference between the two …
