Dynamics of a bistable Mott insulator to superfluid phase transition in cavity optomechanics
arXiv:0906.4143 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2009.10.047
Abstract
We study the dynamics of the many-body state of ultracold bosons trapped in a bistable optical lattice in an optomechanical resonator controlled by a time-dependent input field. We focus on the dynamics of the many-body system following discontinuous jumps of the intracavity field. We identify experimentally realizable parameters for the bistable quantum phase transition between Mott insulator and superfluid.
