We investigate the dynamics of two interacting electrons confined to a pair of coupled quantum dots driven by an external ac field. By numerically integrating the two-electron Schrödinger equation in time, we find that for certain values of the [...]texto impreso
Hur, G. ; Creffield, Charles E. ; Jones, P.H. ; Monteiro, T. S. | American Physical Society | 2005-07Recently, cesium atoms in optical lattices subjected to cycles of unequally spaced pulses have been found to show interesting behavior: they represent an experimental demonstration of a Hamiltonian ratchet mechanism, and they show strong variabi[...]texto impreso
A powerful method of manipulating the dynamics of quantum coherent particles is to control the phase of their tunneling. We consider a system of two electrons hopping on a quasi-one- dimensional lattice in the presence of a uniform magnetic fiel[...]texto impreso
We study the behavior of ultracold bosonic atoms held in an optical lattice. We first show how a self-trapping transition can be induced in the system either by increasing the number of atoms occupying a lattice site or by raising the interactio[...]texto impreso
We study the response of a Bose-Einstein condensate to an unbiased periodic driving potential. By controlling the space and time symmetries of the driving we show how a directed current can be induced, producing a coherent quantum ratchet. Weak [...]texto impreso

We study the effect of a strong, oscillating driving field on the dynamics of ultracold boson held in an optical lattice. Modeling the system as a Bose-Hubbard model, we show how the driving field can be used to produce and maintain a coherent a[...]texto impreso
We consider the dynamics of a quantum particle held in a lattice potential and subjected to a time-dependent spin-orbit coupling. Tilting the lattice causes the particle to perform Bloch oscillations, and by suitably changing the Rashba interact[...]texto impreso
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 of the intersite tunneling can be used to produce directed mo[...]texto impreso
The dynamics of cold bosonic atoms held in an optical lattice can be profoundly modified by using a periodic driving potential to induce the quantum interference effect termed ”coherent destruction of tunneling”. In this way the entanglement and[...]texto impreso
In the limit of low particle density, electrons confined to a quantum dot form strongly correlated states termed Wigner molecules, in which the Coulomb interaction causes the electrons to become highly localized in space. By using an effective m[...]texto impreso
Bose-Einstein condensates subject to short pulses (kicks) from standing waves of light represent a nonlinear analog of the well-known chaos paradigm, the quantum kicked rotor. Previous studies of the onset of dynamical instability (i.e., expo[...]texto impreso
Heimsoth, Martin ; Hochstuhl, D. ; Creffield, Charles E. ; Carr, L.D. ; Sols Lucía, Fernando | IOP Publishing | 2013-10-07We show that the orbital Josephson effect appears in a wide range of driven atomic Bose-Einstein condensed systems, including quantum ratchets, double wells and box potentials. We use three separate numerical methods: the Gross-Pitaevskii equati[...]texto impreso
A quantum dot (QD) is a structure in which electrons can be confined to small length scales, comparable to their Fermi wavelength. A set of electrons held in such a structure is conceptually similar to a set of atomic electrons bound to a nucleu[...]
