Dynamics of the mean-field interacting quantum kicked rotor

Samuel Lellouch, Adam Rançon, Stephan De Bièvre +2

We study the dynamics of the many-body atomic kicked rotor with interactions at the mean-field level, governed by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We show that dynamical localization…

Ratchet Effect in the Quantum Kicked Rotor and its Destruction by Dynamical Localization

Clément Hainaut, Adam Rançon, Jean-François Clément +4

We study experimentally a quantum kicked rotor with broken parity symmetry, supporting a ratchet effect due to the presence of a classical accelerator mode. We show that the short-…

Simulating Dirac models with ultracold atoms in optical lattices

Jean Claude Garreau, Véronique Zehnlé

We present a general model allowing "quantum simulation" of one-dimensional Dirac models with 2- and 4-component spinors using ultracold atoms in driven 1D tilted optical latices.…

Controlling symmetry and localization with an artificial gauge field in a disordered quantum system

Clément Hainaut, Isam Manai, Jean-François Clément +6

Anderson localization, the absence of diffusion in disordered media, draws its origins from the destructive interference between multiple scattering paths. The localization propert…

Quantum simulation of disordered systems with cold atoms

Jean Claude Garreau

This paper reviews the physics of quantum disorder in relation with a series of experiments using laser-cooled atoms exposed to "kicks" of a standing wave, realizing a paradigmatic…

Experimental Observation of Two-Dimensional Anderson Localization with the Atomic Kicked Rotor

Isam Manai, Jean-François Clément, Radu Chicireanu +4

Dimension 2 is expected to be the lower critical dimension for Anderson localization in a time reversal-invariant disordered quantum system. Using an atomic quasiperiodic kicked ro…
