Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: mimicking condensed matter physics and beyond

M Lewenstein, A Sanpera, V Ahufinger… - Advances in …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Correlated bosons on a lattice: Dynamical mean-field theory for Bose-Einstein condensed and normal phases

K Byczuk, D Vollhardt - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2008 - APS
We formulate a bosonic dynamical mean-field theory (B-DMFT) which provides a
comprehensive, thermodynamically consistent framework for the theoretical investigation of …

Quenching Bloch oscillations in a strongly correlated material: Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory

JK Freericks - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2008 - APS
Dynamical mean-field theory is generalized to solve the nonequilibrium Keldysh boundary
problem: a system is started in equilibrium at a temperature T= 0.1, a uniform electric field is …

Production of quantum-degenerate mixtures of ytterbium and lithium with controllable interspecies overlap

AH Hansen, AY Khramov, WH Dowd, AO Jamison… - Physical Review A …, 2013 - APS
Quantum-degenerate mixtures of one-electron and two-electron atoms form the starting
point for studying few-and many-body physics of mass-imbalanced pairs as well as the …

Interaction-tuned Anderson versus Mott localization

AE Antipov, Y Javanmard, P Ribeiro, S Kirchner - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
Disorder or sufficiently strong interactions can render a metallic state unstable, causing it to
turn into an insulating one. Despite the fact that the interplay of these two routes to a …

Characterizing the non-equilibrium dynamics of field-driven correlated quantum systems

HF Fotso, JK Freericks - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Recent experimental advances in ultrafast phenomena have triggered renewed interest in
the dynamics of correlated quantum systems away from equilibrium. We review non …

Pattern formation in mixtures of ultracold atoms in optical lattices

MM Maśka, R Lemański, JK Freericks, CJ Williams - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
Regular pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature; it occurs in biological, physical, and
materials science systems. Here we propose a set of experiments with ultracold atoms that …
