Cooling schemes for two-component fermions in layered optical lattices
arXiv:1710.00521 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.063602
Abstract
Recently, a cooling scheme for ultracold atoms in a bilayer optical lattice has been proposed [A. Kantian et al., arXiv:1609.03579]. In their scheme, the energy offset between the two layers is increased dynamically such that the entropy of one layer is transferred to the other layer. Using the full-Hilbert-space approach, we compute cooling dynamics subjected to the scheme in order to show that their scheme fails to cool down two-component fermions. We develop an alternative cooling scheme for two-component fermions, in which the spin-exchange interaction of one layer is significantly reduced. Using both full-Hilbert-space and matrix-product-state approaches, we find that our scheme can decrease the temperature of the other layer by roughly half.
