Bond Order via Light-Induced Synthetic Many-body Interactions of Ultracold Atoms in Optical Lattices
Santiago F. Caballero-Benitez, Igor B. Mekhov
We show how bond order emerges due to light mediated synthetic interactions in ultracold atoms in optical lattices in an optical cavity. This is a consequence of the competition be…
Quantum simulators based on the global collective light-matter interaction
Santiago F. Caballero-Benitez, Gabriel Mazzucchi, Igor B. Mekhov
We show that coupling ultracold atoms in optical lattices to quantized modes of an optical cavity leads to quantum phases of matter, which at the same time posses properties of sys…
Quantum properties of light scattered from structured many-body phases of ultracold atoms in quantum optical lattices
Santiago F. Caballero-Benitez, Igor B. Mekhov
Quantum trapping potentials for ultracold gases change the landscape of classical properties of scattered light and matter. The atoms in a quantum many-body correlated phase of mat…
Quantum optical lattices for emergent many-body phases of ultracold atoms
Santiago F. Caballero-Benitez, Igor B. Mekhov
Confining ultracold gases in cavities creates a paradigm of quantum trapping potentials. We show that this allows to bridge models with global collective and short-range interactio…
REVIEW. Quantum optics with ultracold quantum gases: towards the full quantum regime of the light-matter interaction
Igor B. Mekhov, Helmut Ritsch
Although the study of ultracold quantum gases trapped by light is a prominent direction of modern research, the quantum properties of light were widely neglected in this field. Qua…
Few-Body Bound Complexes in One-dimensional Dipolar Gases and Non-Destructive Optical Detection
N. T. Zinner, B. Wunsch, I. B. Mekhov +3
We consider dipolar interactions between heteronuclear molecules in low-dimensional geometries. The setup consists of two one-dimensional tubes. We study the stability of possible…
