Geometric potentials in quantum optics: A semi-classical interpretation
Marc Cheneau, Steffen Patrick Rath, Tarik Yefsah +3
We propose a semi-classical interpretation of the geometric scalar and vector potentials that arise due to Berry's phase when an atom moves slowly in a light field. Starting from t…
Spin Field Effect Transistors with Ultracold Atoms
J. Y. Vaishnav, Julius Ruseckas, Charles W. Clark +1
We propose a method of constructing cold atom analogs of the spintronic device known as the Datta-Das transistor (DDT), which despite its seminal conceptual role in spintronics, ha…
Atomic Zitterbewegung
M. Merkl, F. E. Zimmer, G. Juzeliunas +1
Ultra-cold atoms which are subject to ultra-relativistic dynamics are investigated. By using optically induced gauge potentials we show that the dynamics of the atoms is governed b…
Landau levels of cold atoms in non-Abelian gauge fields
A. Jacob, P. Ohberg, G. Juzeliunas +1
The Landau levels of cold atomic gases in non-Abelian gauge fields are analyzed. In particular we identify effects on the energy spectrum and density distribution which are purely…
Cold atom dynamics in non-Abelian gauge fields
A. Jacob, P. Ohberg, G. Juzeliunas +1
The dynamics of ultracold neutral atoms subject to a non-Abelian gauge field is investigated. In particular we analyze in detail a simple experimental scheme to achieve a constant,…
Double and negative reflection of cold atoms in non-Abelian gauge potentials
Gediminas Juzeliunas, Julius Ruseckas, Andreas Jacob +2
Atom reflection is studied in the presence of a non-Abelian vector potential proportional to a spin-1/2 operator. The potential is produced by a relatively simple laser configurati…
