Quantum Rabi model in the Brillouin zone with ultracold atoms
Simone Felicetti, Enrique Rico, Carlos Sabin +6
The quantum Rabi model describes the interaction between a two-level quantum system and a single bosonic mode. We propose a method to perform a quantum simulation of the quantum Ra…

Real-space imaging of a topological protected edge state with ultracold atoms in an amplitude-chirped optical lattice
Martin Leder, Christopher Grossert, Lukas Sitta +3
Topological states of matter, as quantum Hall systems or topological insulators, cannot be distinguished from ordinary matter by local measurements in the bulk of the material. Ins…

Phase dependent loading of Bloch bands and Quantum simulation of relativistic wave equation predictions with ultracold atoms in variably shaped optical lattice potentials
Christopher Grossert, Martin Leder, Martin Weitz
The dispersion relation of ultracold atoms in variably shaped optical lattices can be tuned to resemble that of a relativistic particle, i.e. be linear instead of the usual nonrela…
