3. Activities and Findings 

3.1 Entanglement in Spatial Adiabatic Processes for Interacting Atoms

We have studied the dynamics of the non-classical correlations for few atom systems in the presence of strong interactions for a number of recently developed adiabatic state preparation protocols. Through this we were able to show that entanglement can be created in a controlled fashion and can be attributed to two distinct sources, the atom–atom interaction and the distribution of atoms among different traps.

3.2 Chiral force of guided light on an atom

We have calculated the force of a near-resonant guided light field of an ultrathin optical fiber on a two-level atom. If the atomic dipole rotates in the meridional plane, the magnitude of the force of the guided light depends on the field propagation direction and the chirality of the force arises as a consequence of the directional dependencies of the Rabi frequency of the guided driving field and the rate of the spontaneous emission from the atom. This work points out a unique method for controlling atomic motion in the vicinity of an ultrathin fiber.

Figure:  Radial dependence of the asymmetry parameter for the axial forces for the opposite propagation directions along the fibre. The inset shows the asymmetry in the limit of large distances from the fibre surface.

3.3 Force of light on a two-level atom near an ultrathin optical fiber

We have studied the force of light on a two-level atom near an ultrathin optical fiber using the mode function method and the Green tensor technique. Doing this we were able to show that the total force consists of the driving-field force, the spontaneous-emission recoil force, and the fiber-induced van der Waals potential force. Due to the existence of a nonzero axial component of the field in a guided mode, the Rabi frequency and, hence, the magnitude of the force of the guided driving field can depend on the propagation direction. When the atomic dipole rotates in the meridional plane, the spontaneous-emission recoil force may arise as a result of the asymmetric spontaneous emission with respect to opposite propagation directions. The van der Waals potential for the atom in the ground state is off-resonant and opposite to the off-resonant part of the van der Waals potential for the atom in the excited state. Unlike the potential for the ground state, the potential for the excited state may oscillate depending on the distance from the atom to the fiber surface.

3.4 Static and dynamic phases of a Tonks–Girardeau gas in an optical lattice

We have investigated the properties of a Tonks–Girardeau gas in the presence of a one-dimensional lattice potential. Such a system is known to exhibit a pinning transition when the lattice is commensurate with the particle density, leading to the formation of an insulating state even at infinitesimally small lattice depths. We have examined the properties of the gas at all lattices depths and, in addition to the static properties, also considered the non-adiabatic dynamics induced by the sudden motion of the lattice potential with a constant speed. This work provides a continuum counterpart to the work done in discrete lattice models.

Figure: (a) Normalized momentum distribution of the TG gas as a function of the filling factor. (b) Momentum distribution for filling factors F = 1 (magenta line), F = 2/5 (dashed red line) and F = 7/5 (black line). (c) Momentum distribution for filling factors F = 1 (magenta line) and F = 49/50 (dashed black line).

3.5 Two-leg-ladder Bose-Hubbard models with staggered fluxes

We have investigated the ground-state properties of ultracold atoms trapped in a two-leg ladder potential in the presence of an artificial magnetic field in a staggered configuration. This work focused on the strongly interacting regime and used the Landau theory of phase transitions and a mean field Gutzwiller variational method to identify the stable superfluid phases and their boundaries with the Mott-insulator regime as a function of magnetic flux. In addition, calculated the local and chiral currents of these superfluid phases, which show a staggered vortex-antivortex configuration. The analytical results were confirmed by numerical simulations using a cluster mean-field-theory approach.

Figure: Phase diagram for the two-leg ladder Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of a staggered flux of magnitude α for unit filling factor using Landau theory. The solid (red) curve marks the boundary between the Mott-insulator and the different superfluid phases for K = J = 1.0. The region below the solid (red) curve comprises of two types of superfluids, which are separated by green dashed lines. The dashed (blue) lines and dotted (black) lines mark the phase boundaries for J = 1 and K = 0.5 and 1.5, respectively. Here J is the intra-leg and K the inter-leg hopping amplitude.

3.6 Noise-free generation of bright matter-wave solitons

We have shown how access to sufficiently flexible trapping potentials could be exploited in the generation of three-dimensional atomic bright matter-wave solitons. Our proposal provides a route towards producing bright solitonic states with good fidelity, in contrast to, for example, a nonadiabatic sweeping of an applied magnetic field through a Feshbach resonance.

Figure:  Schematic representation of the soliton engineering protocol. The yellow surfaces represent contours of constant energy of the tailored trapping potential [see Eqs. (6) and (11) in the publication] and the red ellipsoid is the resulting ground-state soliton. The two arrows are indicative of two lasers, used to form, for example, a hypothetical three-dimensional painted trapping potential.

3.7 Topological states in the Kronig-Penney model with arbitrary scattering potentials

We have used an exact solution to the fundamental finite Kronig–Penney model with arbitrary positions and strengths of scattering sites to show that this iconic model can possess topologically nontrivial properties. By using free parameters of the system as extra dimensions we have demonstrated the appearance of topologically protected edge states as well as the emergence of a Hofstadter butterfly-like quasimomentum spectrum, even in the case of small numbers of scattering sites. We have investigated the behavior of the system in the weak and strong scattering regimes and observed drastically different shapes of the quasimomentum spectrum.

Figure:  Quasimomentum spectra for systems with an increasing number M of scatterers, whose heights are modulated in a sinusoidal fashion. The emergence of a butterfly spectrum can be seen.

3.8 Fast control of interactions in an ultracold two atom system: Managing correlations and irreversibility

We have designed and explored a shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) for changing the interaction strength between two ultracold, harmonically trapped bosons. Starting from initially uncorrelated, non-interacting particles, we assume a time-dependent tuning of the inter-particle interaction through a Feshbach resonance, such that the two particles are strongly interacting at the end of the driving. The efficiency of the STA has been then quantified by examining the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the irreversible work, which is related to the out-of-equilibrium excitations in the system. We have also quantified the entanglement of the two-particle state through the von Neumann entropy and shown that the entanglement produced in the STA process matches that of the desired target state. Given the fundamental nature of the two-atom problem in ultracold atomic physics, we expect the shortcut we presented to have significant impact on many processes that rely on inter-particle interactions.

Figure:   (a) Density of the initial state, which is the uncorrelated non-interacting two-particle groundstate. (b) Time dependence of the interaction parameter as given by the STA for a process time of t_f = 10 (solid line) and t_f = 1 (dash-dotted line), and by a reference function (dotted line), for a final interaction of g_f = 20. (c) Density of the desired final state at g_f = 20.
