Поштоване колегинице и колеге,

Позивам вас на SCL семинар који ће у четвртак, 5. септембра 2013. године у 14:00 у читаоници библиотеке Института за физику одржати Tao Wang (Department of Physics, Harbin Institute of Technology, China and Department of Physics, Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany). Наслов семинара је:

Artificially Tuned Optical Lattices

Abstract:

In this talk we will focus on two types of artificially tuned optical lattices, namely superlattices and periodically driven optical lattice systems. At first, in view of a superlattice system, we will report on a generalization of the Effective Potential Landau Theory (EPLT) for a single component [1] to multi-component case [2]. In particular, we will suggest how to experimentally realize a Kagome superlattice system where an anisotropic superfluidity should emerge due to two faces of an interaction blockade. Afterwards, we will discuss in detail an optical lattice system, where the s-wave scattering length is modulated periodically [3]. Motivated by the Floquet theory [4], we will show that for large enough driving frequencies the original time-dependent Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian is well approximated by an effective time-independent Bose-Hubbard model. We can even conclude that the driven many-body system must have the same critical exponents as the much simpler non-driven lattice system provided that the driving amplitude is not too large. Finally, we will present initial results of calculation of the ground-state energy of the Bose-Hubbard model to high orders by invoking the process-chain approach [5]. In the outlook we will discuss the prospects of using the process-chain approach for analyzing artificially tuned optical lattices.
