Ultracold atoms in optical lattices generated by quantized light fields

Christoph Maschler, Igor B. Mekhov, Helmut Ritsch

We study an ultracold gas of neutral atoms subject to the periodic optical potential generated by a high- cavity mode. In the limit of very low temperatures, cavity field and at…

Microscopic physics of quantum self-organisation of optical lattices in cavities

András Vukics, Christoph Maschler, Helmut Ritsch

We study quantum particles at zero temperature in an optical lattice coupled to a resonant cavity mode. The cavity field substantially modifies the particle dynamics in the lattice…

Light scattering from ultracold atoms in optical lattices as an optical probe of quantum statistics

Igor B. Mekhov, Christoph Maschler, Helmut Ritsch

We study off-resonant collective light scattering from ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Scattering from different atomic quantum states creates different quantum stat…

Probing quantum phases of ultracold atoms in optical lattices by transmission spectra in cavity QED

Igor. B. Mekhov, Christoph Maschler, Helmut Ritsch

Studies of ultracold atoms in optical lattices link various disciplines, providing a playground where fundamental quantum many-body concepts, formulated in condensed-matter physics…

Cavity enhanced light scattering in optical lattices to probe atomic quantum statistics

Igor B. Mekhov, Christoph Maschler, Helmut Ritsch

Different quantum states of atoms in optical lattices can be nondestructively monitored by off-resonant collective light scattering into a cavity. Angle resolved measurements of ph…

Entanglement driven self-organization via a quantum seesaw mechanism

Christoph Maschler, Helmut Ritsch, Andras Vukics +1

Atom-field entanglement is shown to play a crucial role for the onset of spatial self-organization of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice within a high-Q cavity. Like particles o…
