Quantum Phases and Dynamics of Periodically Driven Ultra-Cold Atomic Gases- Atomic and Molecular Physics Program (6.3)
Abstract
Ultra-cold atomic gases provide a clean and highly controllable platform for emulating many-body phenomena and engineering new quantum materials. In cold atomic gases, external potentials can be induced periodically not only in the real space (i.e., optical lattices), but also in the time domain. Such periodic modulation of the system Hamiltonian, together with some recently developed experimental tools such as spin-orbit coupling,open a broad avenue for discovering new quantum matter. In this project, we utilize various experimental tools with the periodic driving of system parameters for engineering new many-body quantum matters and exploring their non-equilibrium dynamics in cold atomic gases. Our proposed research contains both fast time modulation for Floquet quantum matter and adiabatic modulation for topological transport of cold atoms. We also explore novel quantum phases and dynamics in time-dependence potentials. Our theoretical efforts will be closely coupled to ongoing experimental efforts at Washington State University, Purdue University, UIUC, and University of Washington.
