Hamiltonian ratchets with ultra-cold atoms

Jiating Ni, Siamak Dadras, Wa Kun Lam +4

Quantum-resonance ratchets have been realized over the last ten years for the production of directed currents of atoms. These non-dissipative systems are based on the interaction o…

Initial state dependence of a quantum-resonance ratchet

Jiating Ni, Wa Kun Lam, Siamak Dadras +3

We demonstrate quantum resonance ratchets created with Bose-Einstein condensates exposed to pulses of an off-resonant standing light wave. We show how some of the basic properties…

Dynamical tunneling of a Bose-Einstein condensate in periodically driven systems

R. K. Shrestha, J. Ni, W. K. Lam +2

We report measurements of dynamical tunneling rates of a Bose-Einstein condensate across a barrier in classical phase space. The atoms are initially prepared in quantum states that…

Controlling the Momentum Current of an Off-resonant Ratchet

R. K. Shrestha, J. Ni, W. K. Lam +2

We experimentally investigate the phenomenon of a quantum ratchet created by exposing a Bose-Einstein Condensate to short pulses of a potential which is periodic in both space and…

A cold-atom ratchet interpolating between classical and quantum dynamics

R. K. Shrestha, W. K. Lam, J. Ni +1

We study the crossover between classical and quantum dynamics by observing the behavior of a quantum ratchet created by exposing a Bose-Einstein condensate to short pulses of a pot…

Fidelity of the quantum delta-kicked accelerator

R. K. Shrestha, S. Wimberger, J. Ni +2

The sensitivity of the fidelity in the kicked rotor to an acceleration is experimentally and theoretically investigated. We used a Bose-Einstein condensate exposed to a sequence of…
