Cold Atoms and Molecules in Self-Assembled Dipolar Lattices
arXiv:0709.1825 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.050402
Abstract
We study the realization of lattice models, where cold atoms and molecules move as extra particles in a dipolar crystal of trapped polar molecules. The crystal is a self-assembled floating mesoscopic lattice structure with quantum dynamics given by phonons. We show that within an experimentally accessible parameter regime extended Hubbard models with tunable long-range phonon-mediated interactions describe the effective dynamics of dressed particles.
