Matter waves in two-dimensional arbitrary atomic crystals
Nicola Bartolo, Mauro Antezza
We present a general scheme to realize a cold-atom quantum simulator of bidimensional atomic crystals. Our model is based on the use of two independently trapped atomic species: th…
Matter Waves in Atomic Artificial Graphene
Nicola Bartolo, Mauro Antezza
We present a new model to realize artificial 2D lattices with cold atoms investigating the atomic artificial graphene: a 2D-confined matter wave is scattered by atoms of a second s…
Photonic band-gap in a realistic atomic diamond lattice: penetration depth, finite-size and vacancy effects
Mauro Antezza, Yvan Castin
We study the effects of finite size and of vacancies on the photonic band gap recently predicted for an atomic diamond lattice. Close to a atomic transition, and f…
Quantitative study of two- and three-dimensional strong localization of matter waves by atomic scatterers
Mauro Antezza, Yvan Castin, David Hutchinson
We study the strong localization of atomic matter waves in a disordered potential created by atoms pinned at the nodes of a lattice, for both three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensi…
Fano-Hopfield model and photonic band gaps for an arbitrary atomic lattice
Mauro Antezza, Yvan Castin
We study the light dispersion relation in a periodic ensemble of atoms at fixed positions in the Fano-Hopfield model (the atomic dipole being modeled with harmonic oscillators). Co…
