Tuning the mobility of a driven Bose-Einstein condensate via diabatic Floquet bands

T. Salger, S. Kling, S. Denisov +3

We study the response of ultracold atoms to a weak force in the presence of a temporally strongly modulated optical lattice potential. It is experimentally demonstrated that the st…

Klein-Tunneling of a Quasirelativistic Bose-Einstein Condensate in an Optical Lattice

Tobias Salger, Sebastian Kling, Christopher Grossert +1

Optical lattices have proven to be powerful systems for quantum simulations of solid state physics effects. Here we report a proof-of-principle experiment simulating effects predic…

Atomic Bloch-Zener Oscillations and Stückelberg Interferometry in Optical Lattices

Sebastian Kling, Tobias Salger, Christopher Grossert +1

We report on experiments investigating quantum transport and band interferometry of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice with a two-band miniband structure, rea…

Directed Transport of Atoms in a Hamiltonian Quantum Ratchet

Tobias Salger, Sebastian Kling, Tim Hecking +3

We demonstrate the operation of a quantum ratchet in the absence of dissipative processes within the observation time (Hamiltonian regime). An atomic rubidium Bose-Einstein condens…

Bloch oscillations of atoms in an optical multiphoton potential

Tobias Salger, Gunnar Ritt, Carsten Geckeler +2

We report on experiments studying transport properties of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice of spatial period , where is an integer, realized with…

Atomic Landau-Zener tunneling in Fourier-synthesized optical lattices

Tobias Salger, Carsten Geckeler, Sebastian Kling +1

We report on an experimental study of quantum transport of atoms in variable periodic optical potentials. The band structure of both ratchet-type asymmetric and symmetric lattice p…

Fourier synthesis of optical potentials for atomic quantum gases

Gunnar Ritt, Carsten Geckeler, Tobias Salger +2

We demonstrate a scheme for the Fourier synthesis of periodic optical potentials with asymmetric unit cells for atoms. In a proof of principle experiment, an atomic Bose-Einstein c…
