Inhomogeneous Kibble-Zurek mechanism: vortex nucleation during Bose-Einstein condensation
A. del Campo, A. Retzker, M. B. Plenio
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism is applied to the spontaneous formation of vortices in a harmonically trapped thermal gas following a temperature quench through the critical value for B…
Fast frictionless dynamics as a toolbox for low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates
A. del Campo
A method is proposed to implement a fast frictionless dynamics in a low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate by engineering the time-dependence of the transverse confining potentia…
Atomic Fock states by gradual trap reduction: from sudden to adiabatic limits
D. Sokolovski, M. Pons, A. del Campo +1
We investigate the possibility to form high fidelity atomic Fock states by gradual reduction of a quasi one dimensional trap containing spin polarized fermions or strongly interact…
Spontaneous nucleation of structural defects in inhomogeneous ion chains
Gabriele De Chiara, Adolfo del Campo, Giovanna Morigi +2
Structural defects in ion crystals can be formed during a linear quench of the transverse trapping frequency across the mechanical instability from a linear chain to the zigzag str…
Structural defects in ion crystals by quenching the external potential: the inhomogeneous Kibble-Zurek mechanism
A. del Campo, G. De Chiara, G. Morigi +2
The non-equilibrium dynamics of an ion chain in a highly anisotropic trap is studied when the transverse trap frequency is quenched across the value at which the chain undergoes a…
