Transparent, Non-local, Species-selective Transport in an Optical Superlattice Containing Two Interacting Atom Species

Abstract

In an optical superlattice of triple wells, containing two mutually interacting atom species in adjacent wells, we show that one species can be transported through the positions of the other species, yet avoiding significant overlap and direct interaction. The transfer protocol is optimized to be robust against missing atoms of either species in any lattice site, as well as against lattice fluctuations. The degree and the duration of the inter-species overlap during passage can be tuned, making possible controlled large-scale interaction-induced change of internal states.
