Title: Density matrix renormalization group approach of the spin-boson model
Authors: Hang Wong and Zhi-De Chen
Categories: cond-mat.str-el
Comments: 6 pages, 7 figures
\\
   We propose a density matrix renormalization group approach to tackle a
two-state system coupled to a bosonic bath with continuous spectrum. In this
approach, the optimized phonon scheme is applied to several hundred phonon
modes which are divided linearly among the spectrum. Although DMRG cannot
resolve very small energy scales, the delocalized-localized transition points
of the two-state system are extracted by the extrapolation of the flow diagram
results. The phase diagram is compared with the numerical renormalization group
results and shows good agreement in both Ohmic and sub-Ohmic case.

Title: Effects of fluctuations in the superfluid-supersolid phase transition on
   the lattice
Authors: Ralf Sch\"utzhold, Michael Uhlmann, Uwe R. Fischer
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 4 pages of RevTex4
\\
   We derive a controlled mean-field expansion for the extended Bose-Hubbard
model, involving interactions with many neighbors on an arbitrary periodic
lattice, and study the superfluid-supersolid phase transition. Near the
critical point, the impact of (thermal and quantum) fluctuations on top of the
mean field grows, which entails several striking effects, such as negative
superfluid densities and thermodynamic instability of the superfluid phase. We
also predict the existence of long-lived ``supercooled'' states with
anomalously large quantum fluctuations.

Title: Stability of Inhomogeneous Multi-Component Fermi Gases
Authors: D. Blume, Seth T. Rittenhouse, J. von Stecher, and Chris H. Greene
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 15 pages, 8 figures
\\
   Two-component equal-mass Fermi gases, in which unlike atoms interact through
a short-range two-body potential and like atoms do not interact, are stable
even when the interspecies s-wave scattering length becomes infinitely large.
Solving the many-body Schroedinger equation within a hyperspherical framework
and by Monte Carlo techniques, this paper investigates how the properties of
trapped two-component gases change if a third or fourth component are added. If
all interspecies scattering lengths are equal and negative, our calculations
suggest that both three- and four-component Fermi gases become unstable for a
certain critical set of parameters. The relevant length scale associated with
the collapse is set by the interspecies scattering length and we argue that the
collapse is, similar to the collapse of an attractive trapped Bose gas, a
many-body phenomenon. Furthermore, we consider a three-component Fermi gas in
which two interspecies scattering lengths are negative while the other
interspecies scattering length is zero. In this case, the stability of the
Fermi system is predicted to depend appreciably on the range of the underlying
two-body potential. We find parameter combinations for which the system appears
to become unstable for a finite negative scattering length and parameter
combinations for which the system appears to be made up of weakly-bound trimers
that consist of one fermion of each species.

Title: Self-trapping of impurities in Bose-Einstein condensates: Arbitrarily
   strong attractive and repulsive coupling
Authors: M. Bruderer, W. Bao and D. Jaksch
Categories: quant-ph
Comments: 7 pages, 5 figures
\\
   We study the interaction-induced localization, so-called self-trapping, of a
neutral impurity atom immersed in a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC).
Based on the Hartree description of the BEC we show that -- in contrast to
repulsive impurities -- attractive impurities have a singular ground state in
3d and shrink to a point-like state as the coupling approaches a critical value
in 2d. Moreover, we find that the density of the BEC increases markedly in the
vicinity of attractive impurities in 1d and 2d, which strongly enhances
inelastic collisions of the BEC atoms. These collisions result in a loss of BEC
atoms and possibly of the localized impurity itself.

Title: p-Wave superfluid and phase separation in atomic Bose-Fermi mixture
Authors: Kazunori Suzuki, Takahiko Miyakawa, and Toru Suzuki
Categories: cond-mat.supr-con
Comments: 7 pages, 6 figurs
\\
   We consider a system of repulsively interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures of spin
polarized uniform atomic gases at zero temperature. We examine possible
realization of p-wave superfluidity of fermions due to an effective attractive
interaction via density fluctuations of Bose-Einstein condensate within
mean-field approximation. We find the ground state of the system by direct
energy comparison of p-wave superfluid and phase-separated states, and suggest
an occurrence of the p-wave superfluid for a strong boson-fermion interaction
regime. We study some signatures in the p-wave superfluid phase, such as
anisotropic energy gap and quasi-particle energy in the axial state, that have
not been observed in spin unpolarized superfluid of atomic fermions. We also
show that a Cooper pair is a tightly bound state like a diatomic molecule in
the strong boson-fermion coupling regime and suggest an observable indication
of the p-wave superfluid in the real experiment.

Title: Transporting cold atoms in optical lattices with ratchets: Symmetries
   and Mechanisms
Authors: S. Denisov, S. Flach, and P. H\"anggi
Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech
Comments: 10 pages, 4 figures

   The objective of this work is to provide a general introduction into the
symmetry analysis of the rachet effect using a simple, non-interacting
one-particle dynamics. Despite its simplicity, this model contains all the
basic aspects of classical and quantum ratchet dynamics, and may be used also
as a starting point of incorporating atom-atom interactions.

Title: Nonlinear Schroedinger equation for a superfluid Bose gas from weak
   coupling to unitarity: Study of vortices
Authors: Sadhan K. Adhikari, Luca Salasnich
Categories: cond-mat.soft
Comments: 10 pages, 15 figures
\\
   We introduce a nonlinear Schroedinger equation to describe the dynamics of a
superfluid Bose gas in the crossover from the weak-coupling regime, where $a
n^{1/3}\ll 1$ with $a$ the inter-atomic s-wave scattering length and $n$ the
bosonic density, to the unitarity limit, where $a\to +\infty$. We call this
equation the {unitarity Schroedinger equation} (USE). The zero-temperature bulk
equation of state of this USE is parametrized by the Lee-Yang-Huang low-density
expansion and Jastrow calculations at unitarity. With the help of the USE we
study the profiles of quantized vortices and vortex-core radius in a uniform
Bose gas. We also consider quantized vortices in a Bose gas under
cylindrically-symmetric harmonic confinement and study their profile and
chemical potential using the USE and compare the results with those obtained
from the Gross-Pitaevskii-type equations valid in the weak-coupling limit.
Finally, the USE is applied to calculate the breathing modes of the confined
Bose gas as a function of the scattering length.

   We report on non-destructive observation of Rabi oscillations on the Cs clock
transition. The internal atomic state evolution of a dipole-trapped ensemble of
cold atoms is inferred from the phase shift of a probe laser beam as measured
using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We describe a single color as well as a
two-color probing scheme. Using the latter, measurements of the collective
pseudo-spin projection of atoms in a superposition of the clock states are
performed and the observed spin fluctuations are shown to be close to the
standard quantum limit.

   We report the stopping of an atomic beam, using a series of pulsed
electromagnetic coils. We use a supersonic beam of metastable neon created in a
gas discharge as a monochromatic source of paramagnetic atoms. A series of
coils is fired in a timed sequence to bring the atoms to near-rest, where they
are detected on a micro-channel plate. Applications to fundamental problems in
physics and chemistry are discussed.

\\
   Optical atomic clocks promise timekeeping at the highest precision and
accuracy, owing to their high operating frequencies. Rigorous evaluations of
these clocks require direct comparisons between them. We have realized a
high-performance remote comparison of optical clocks over km-scale urban
distances, a key step for development, dissemination, and application of these
optical standards. Through this remote comparison and a proper design of
lattice-confined neutral atoms for clock operation, we evaluate the uncertainty
of a strontium (Sr) optical lattice clock at the 1x10-16 fractional level,
surpassing the best current evaluations of cesium (Cs) primary standards. We
also report on the observation of density-dependent effects in the
spin-polarized fermionic sample and discuss the current limiting effect of
blackbody radiation-induced frequency shifts.

   We study the sudden expansion of strongly correlated fermions in a
one-dimensional lattice, utilizing the time-dependent density-matrix
renormalization group method. Our focus is on the behavior of experimental
observables such as the density, the momentum distribution function, and the
density and spin structure factors. As our main result, we show that
correlations in the transient regime can be accurately described by equilibrium
reference systems. In addition, we find that the expansion from a Mott
insulator produces distinctive peaks in the momentum distribution function at
|k| ~ pi/2, accompanied by the onset of power-law correlations.

Title: 2PI nonequilibrium versus transport equations for an ultracold Bose gas
Authors: Alexander Bransch\"adel and Thomas Gasenzer
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 24 pages, 7 figures
Report-no: Heidelberg preprint HD-THEP-08-02
\\
   The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of an ultracold, one-dimensional Bose gas
is studied. The focus is set on the comparison between the solutions of fully
dynamical evolution equations derived from the 2PI effective action and their
corresponding kinetic approximation in the form of Boltzmann-type transport
equations. It is shown that during the time evolution of the gas a kinetic
description which includes non-Markovian memory effects in a gradient expansion
becomes valid. The time scale at which this occurs is shown to exceed
significantly the time scale at which the system's evolution enters a
near-equilibrium drift period where a fluctuation dissipation relation is found
to hold and which would seem to be predestined for the kinetic approximation.

Title: Fidelity decay in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
Authors: G. Manfredi, P.-A. Hervieux
Categories: quant-ph
Comments: 4 pages, to appear in Physical Review Letters, February 2008
\\
   The quantum coherence of a Bose-Einstein condensate is studied using the
concept of quantum fidelity (Loschmidt echo). The condensate is confined in an
elongated anharmonic trap and subjected to a small random potential such as
that created by a laser speckle. Numerical experiments show that the quantum
fidelity stays constant until a critical time, after which it drops abruptly
over a single trap oscillation period. The critical time depends
logarithmically on the number of condensed atoms and on the perturbation
amplitude. This behavior may be observable by measuring the interference
fringes of two condensates evolving in slightly different potentials.

Title: The Josephson relation for the superfluid density in the BCS-BEC
   crossover
Authors: Edward Taylor
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 8 pages
\\
   The Josephson relation for the superfluid density is derived for a Fermi
superfluid in the BCS-BEC crossover. This new identity extends the original
Josephson relation for Bose superfluids. It gives a simple exact relation
between the superfluid density $\rho_s$ and the broken-symmetry Cooper pair
order parameter $\Delta_0$ in terms of the infrared limit of the Cooper pair
propagator. The same expression holds through the entire BCS-BEC crossover,
describing the superfluid density of a weak-coupling BCS superfluid as well as
the superfluid density of a Bose condensate of dimer molecules.

Title: Spectral weight redistribution in strongly correlated bosons in optical
   lattices
Authors: Chiara Menotti and Nandini Trivedi
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 14 pages, 12 figures
\\
   We calculate the single-particle spectral function for the one-band
Bose-Hubbard model within the random phase approximation (RPA). In the strongly
correlated superfluid, in addition to the gapless phonon excitations, we find
extra gapped modes which become particularly relevant near the superfluid-Mott
quantum phase transition (QPT). The strength in one of the gapped modes, a
precursor of the Mott phase, grows as the QPT is approached and evolves into a
hole (particle) excitation in the Mott insulator depending on whether the
chemical potential is above (below) the tip of the lobe. The sound velocity of
the Goldstone modes remains finite when the transition is approached at a
constant density, otherwise, it vanishes at the transition. It agrees well with
Bogoliubov theory except close to the transition. We also calculate the spatial
correlations for bosons in an inhomogeneous trapping potential creating
alternating shells of Mott insulator and superfluid. Finally, we discuss the
capability of the RPA approximation to correctly account for quantum
fluctuations in the vicinity of the QPT.

Title: Quantum Hall physics in rotating Bose-Einstein condensates
Authors: Susanne Viefers
Categories: cond-mat.mes-hall
Comments: Topical review; to appear in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. 28
   pages, 6 figures
Report-no: OSLO-TP 1-08
\\
   The close theoretical analogy between the physics of rapidly rotating atomic
Bose condensates and the quantum Hall effect (i.e., a two dimensional electron
gas in a strong magnetic field) was first pointed out ten years ago. As a
consequence of this analogy, a large number of strongly correlated quantum
Hall-type states have been predicted to occur in rotating Bose systems, and
suggestions have been made how to manipulate and observe their fractional
quasiparticle excitations. Due to a very rapid development in experimental
techniques over the past years, experiments on BEC now appear to be close to
reaching the quantum Hall regime. This paper reviews the theoretical and
experimental work done to date in exploring quantum Hall physics in cold
bosonic gases. Future perspectives are discussed briefly, in particular the
idea of exploiting some of these strongly correlated states in the context of
topological quantum computing.

\\
   The phenomenon of random intensity patterns, for waves propagating in the
presence of disorder, is well known in optics and in mesoscopic physics. We
study this phenomenon for cold atomic gases expanding, by a diffusion process,
in a weak random potential. We show that the density-density correlation
function of the expanding gas is strongly affected by disorder and we estimate
the typical size of a speckle spot, i.e., a region of enhanced or depleted
density. Both a Fermi gas and a Bose-Einstein condensate (in a mean field
approach) are considered.

   Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics, 2007) - pages 247-265
\\
   This chapter presents an overview of the properties of a Bose-Einstein
condensate (BEC) trapped in a periodic potential. This system has attracted a
wide interest in the last years, and a few excellent reviews of the field have
already appeared in the literature (see, for instance, [1-3] and references
therein). For this reason, and because of the huge amount of published results,
we do not pretend here to be comprehensive, but we will be content to provide a
flavor of the richness of this subject, together with some useful references.
On the other hand, there are good reasons for our effort. Probably, the most
significant is that BEC in periodic potentials is a truly interdisciplinary
problem, with obvious connections with electrons in crystal lattices, polarons
and photons in optical fibers. Moreover, the BEC experimentalists have reached
such a high level of accuracy to create in the lab, so to speak, paradigmatic
Hamiltonians, which were first introduced as idealized theoretical models to
study, among others, dynamical instabilities or quantum phase transitions.

Title: Pulsating instability of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical
   lattice
Authors: Uttam Shrestha, Marijan Kostrun, and Juha Javanainen
Categories: cond-mat.other
\\
   We find numerically that in the limit of weak atom-atom interactions a
Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice may develop a pulsating
dynamical instability in which the atoms nearly periodically form a peak in the
occupation numbers of the lattice sites, and then return to the unstable
initial state. Multiple peaks behaving similarly may also occur. Simple
arguments show that the pulsating instability is a remnant of integrability,
and give a handle on the relevant physical scales.

   The spatial self-organization of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a
high-finesse linear optical cavity is discussed. The condensate atoms are
laser-driven from the side and scatter photons into the cavity. Above a
critical pump intensity the homogeneous condensate evolves into a stable
pattern bound by the cavity field. The transition point is determined
analytically from a mean-field theory. We calculate the lowest lying Bogoliubov
excitations of the coupled BEC-cavity system and the quantum depletion due to
the atom-field coupling.

   We present a treatment of decoherence in an atom due to scattering from a gas
of free particles. We show that there is a recoil free scattering process that
leaves both the atom and the gas in an unchanged state, but allows for the
acquisition of a phase shift that remains in the free space limit. This is
essential to understanding decoherence in a separated arm atom interferometer,
where a gas of atoms forms a refractive medium for a matter wave. Our work
clarifies the extent to which scattering of a free particle acts as a which-way
measurement.
