Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling Escape of Bose-Einstein Condensates
Xinxin Zhao, Diego A. Alcala, Marie A. McLain +5
Recent experiments on macroscopic quantum tunneling reveal a non-exponential decay of the number of atoms trapped in a quasibound state behind a potential barrier. Through both exp…
Critical Phenomena and Kibble-Zurek Scaling in the Long-Range Quantum Ising Chain
Daniel Jaschke, Kenji Maeda, Joseph D. Whalen +2
We investigate an extension of the quantum Ising model in one spatial dimension including long-range interactions in its statics and dynamics with possible applications f…
Realizing unconventional quantum magnetism with symmetric top molecules
M. L. Wall, K. Maeda, L. D. Carr
We demonstrate that ultracold symmetric top molecules loaded into an optical lattice can realize highly tunable and unconventional models of quantum magnetism, such as an XYZ Heise…
Hyperfine structure of the hydroxyl free radical (OH) in electric and magnetic fields
Kenji Maeda, Michael L Wall, Lincoln D Carr
We investigate single-particle energy spectra of the hydroxyl free radical (OH) in the lowest electronic and rovibrational level under combined static electric and magnetic fields,…
Realizing topological states with polyatomic symmetric top molecules
M. L. Wall, K. Maeda, L. D. Carr
We demonstrate that ultracold polyatomic symmetric top molecules, such as methyl fluoride, loaded into an optical lattice and subject to DC electric and microwave field dressing, c…
Simulating quantum magnets with symmetric top molecules
Michael L Wall, Kenji Maeda, Lincoln D Carr
We establish a correspondence between the electric dipole matrix elements of a polyatomic symmetric top molecule in a state with nonzero projection of the total angular momentum on…
Antiferrosmectic ground state of two-component dipolar Fermi gases -- an analog of meson condensation in nuclear matter
Kenji Maeda, Tetsuo Hatsuda, Gordon Baym
We show that an antiferrosmectic-C phase has lower energy at high densities than the non-magnetized Fermi gas and ferronematic phases in an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms, or mol…
Large N Expansion for Strongly-coupled Boson-Fermion Mixtures
Kenji Maeda
We study a many-body mixture of an equal number of bosons and two-component fermions with a strong contact attraction. In this system bosons and fermions can be paired into composi…
Simulating dense QCD matter with ultracold atomic boson-fermion mixtures
Kenji Maeda, Gordon Baym, Tetsuo Hatsuda
We delineate, as an analog of two-flavor dense quark matter, the phase structure of a many-body mixture of atomic bosons and fermions in two internal states with a tunable boson-fe…
