Power-law behavior in the quantum-resonant evolution of the delta-kicked accelerator
P. L. Halkyard, M. Saunders, S. A. Gardiner +1
We consider the atom-optical delta-kicked accelerator when the initial momentum distribution is symmetric. We demonstrate the existence of quantum-resonant dynamics, and derive ana…
Fractional resonances in the atom-optical delta-kicked accelerator
M. Saunders, P. L. Halkyard, S. A. Gardiner +1
We consider resonant dynamics in a dilute atomic gas falling under gravity through a periodically pulsed standing-wave laser field. Our numerical calculations are based on a Monte…
The manifestation of quantum resonances and antiresonances in a finite temperature dilute atomic gas
M. Saunders, P. L. Halkyard, K. J. Challis +1
We investigate the effect of temperature on resonant and antiresonant dynamics in a dilute atomic gas kicked periodically by a standing wave laser field. Our numerical calculations…
