Collective excitations of dipolar gases based on local tunneling in superlattices

Abstract

The collective dynamics of a dipolar fermionic quantum gas confined in a one-dimensional doublewell superlattice is explored. The fermionic gas resides in a paramagnetic-like ground state in the weak interaction regime, upon which a new type of collective dynamics is found when applying a local perturbation. This dynamics is composed of the local tunneling of fermions in separate supercells, and is a pure quantum effect, with no classical counterpart. Due to the presence of the dipolar interactions the local tunneling transports through the entire superlattice, giving rise to a collective dynamics. A well-defined momentum-energy dispersion relation is identified in the ab-initio simulations demonstrating the phonon-like behavior. The phonon-like characteristic is also confirmed by an analytical description of the dynamics within a semiclassical picture. arXiv:1606.08358v4 [cond-mat.quant-gas]

Correlated dynamics of fermionic impurities induced by the counterflow of an ensemble of fermions

“…Another interesting prospect would be to examine e.g. a lattice trapped Fermi-Fermi mixture [118] consisting of a fermionic bath and impurity atoms and unravel its stationary properties but most importantly the interaction quench dynamics. In this context the simulation of the corresponding radiofrequency spectrum [40] by employing spinor impurities in order to identify polaronic states is worth pursuing.…”

Quantum metrology with precision reaching beyond-$1/N$ scaling through $N$-probe entanglement generating interactions

“…The NPEG-based measurement scheme is based on the dynamical process of the many-body correlation induced tunneling (MBCIT), which is a special type of correlated tunneling generalized from the single-particle correlation induced tunneling [28,29]. During the dynamical process, the system periodically oscillate between the initial and the corresponding target, for instance between the state |+ := (| ⇑ + | ⇓ )/ √ 2 and | ⇓ .…”

Interplay of phase separation and itinerant magnetism for correlated few fermions in a double-well

“…MCTDHF has been applied extensively for the treatment of fermions with or without spin-degrees of freedom, in a large class of condensed matter, atomic and molecular physics scenarios (see e.g. [65][66][67][68][69][70]) and recently also applied in the field of ultracold atoms [26,[34][35][36][71][72][73]. MCTDHF is a variational method the key idea of which is to employ a time-dependent (TD) and variationally optimized MB basis set, which allows for the optimal truncation of the MB Hilbert space.…”
