Title: Defect production in non-linear quench across a quantum critical point

We show that the defect density $n$, for a slow non-linear power-law quench
with a rate $\tau^{-1}$ and an exponent $\alpha>0$, which takes the system
through a critical point characterized by correlation length and dynamical
critical exponents $\nu$ and $z$, scales as $n \sim \tau^{-\alpha \nu d/
(\alpha z\nu+1)}$ [$n \sim (\alpha g^{(\alpha-1)/\alpha}/\tau)^{\nu
d/(z\nu+1)}$], if the quench takes the system across the critical point at time
$t=0$ [$t=t_0 \ne 0$], where $g$ is a non-universal constant and $d$ is the
system dimension. These scaling laws constitute the first theoretical results
for defect production in non-linear quenches across quantum critical points and
reproduce their well-known counterpart for linear quench ($\alpha=1$) as a
special case. We supplement our results with numerical studies of well-known
models and suggest experiments to test our theory.

Title: BCS-BEC crossover and effects of density fluctuations in a two-component
Fermi gas loaded on an optical lattice
Authors: H. Tamaki, Y. Ohashi, K. Miyake
Categories: cond-mat.mtrl-sci

\\
We investigate the superfluid phase transition in a gas of Fermi atoms loaded
on a three-dimensional optical lattice. When the lattice potential is strong,
this system can be well described by an attractive Hubbard model. In this
model, we calculate the superfluid phase transition temperature Tc, including
both superfluid and (spin and charge) density fluctuations within the
self-consistent t-matrix theory and fluctuation exchange approximation,
respectively. Since we treat these fluctuations in a consistent manner, our
theory satisfies the required particle-hole symmetry over the entire BCS-BEC
crossover region. We show that charge density fluctuations compete against
superfluid fluctuations near the half-filling, leading to the suppression of
Tc. As a result, the maximum Tc is obtained away the half-filling. Since the
strong density fluctuations originate from the nesting property of the Fermi
surface at the half filling (which is absent in a uniform gas with no lattice
potential), our results would be useful in considering lattice effects on
strong-coupling superfluidity.

We demonstrate that atoms in magnetically insensitive hyperfine states (m=0)
can be trapped efficiently by a Bose-Einstein Condensate of the same atomic
species occupying a different hyperfine state. The latter is trapped
magnetically. Hyperfine state changing collisions, and therefore loss of the
trapped (m=0) atoms, are shown to be strongly inhibited in case of a low
density of the confined atomic cloud. We monitor the transition from a 'soft'
to a 'hard' effective potential by studying the backaction of the trapped (m=0)
atoms onto the condensate which provides their confinement. The controlled
release of the trapped atoms by shaping the condensate's wavefunction is
explored.

Title: Comment on "Splitting Times of Doubly Quantized Vortices in Dilute
Bose-Einstein Condensates"

In their recent Letter [1], Huhtamaki et al. theoretically investigated the
splitting of a topologically imprinted doubly charged vortex in to two singly
charged vortices as occurring in a dilute atomic Bose-Einstein conden sate.
They compare the results of simulation with recent experiment [2] and show that
the combination of gravitational sag and the time dependence of the trapping
potential alone are enough to explain the observed splitting times. In
particular, the numerically obtained dependence of the decay time on the peak
condensate density fits well the experimental data. Based on this agreement the
authors of Ref. [1] claim that, contrary to previous theoretical results [3],
the thermal excitations play no role in the experiment. We are going to show in
this Comment that there is no conflict between explanations in Ref. [1] and
[3]. In fact, a number of thermal (uncondensed) atoms appears in the system
while disturbing the gas. They continue to appear afterwords during the decay
of the vortex (i.e., when the separation between two cores of singly quantized
vortices is slowly increasing). The overall number of uncondensed atoms remains
approximately on the level of 20%, which is already at the edge of experimental
detection capabilities. However, the uncondensed atoms do not form the broad
cloud allowing the identification by fitting to a bimodal distribution - they
are rather located in the core of the vortex and therefore are harder to
detect.

We demonstrate experimentally the delay of squeezed light and entanglement
using Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a rubidium vapour cell.
We perform quadrature amplitude measurements of the probe field and find no
appreciable excess noise from the EIT process. From an input squeezing of 3.1
dB at low sideband frequencies, we observed the survival of 2 dB of squeezing
at the EIT output. By splitting the squeezed light on a beam-splitter, we
generated biased entanglement between two beams. We transmit one of the
entangled beams through the EIT cell and correlate the quantum statistics of
this beam with its entangled counterpart. We experimentally observed a 2 $\mu$s
delay of the biased entanglement and obtained a preserved degree of
wavefunction inseparability of 0.71, below the unity value for separable
states.

Arrays of trapped atoms are the ideal starting point for developing registers
comprising large numbers of physical qubits for processing quantum information.
One very promising approach involves neutral atom traps produced on
microfabricated devices known as atom chips, as almost arbitrary trap
configurations can be realised in a robust and compact package. Until now,
however, atom chip experiments have focused on small systems incorporating
single or only a few individual traps. In this letter we report experiments on
a vast two-dimensional array of trapped ultracold atom clouds prepared using a
simple magnetic-film atom chip. We are able to load atoms into hundreds of
tightly confining and optically resolved array sites. We then cool the
individual atom clouds in parallel to the critical temperature required for
quantum degeneracy. Finally, we shuttle atoms across the film surface utilising
the atom chip as an atomic shift register.

We extend the theory for laser cooling in a near-resonant optical lattice to
include multiple excited hyperfine states. Simulations are performed treating
the external degrees of freedom of the atom, i.e., position and momentum,
classically, while the internal atomic states are treated quantum mechanically,
allowing for arbitrary superpositions. Whereas theoretical treatments including
only a single excited hyperfine state predict that the temperature should be a
function of lattice depth only, except close to resonance, experiments have
shown that the minimum temperature achieved depends also on the detuning from
resonance of the lattice light. Our results resolve this discrepancy.

We discuss the creation of quantum superposition states with distinct phases
(phase cat states) with a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a periodic
potential. The signature of the cat is con- tained in the phase distribution of
the interference patterns. Moreover, in the double well case, this distribution
shows a dramatic dependence on the parity of the total number of atoms. We
finally show that, for single well occupations up to a few hundred atoms, the
phase cats can be robust enough against decoherence to be experimentally
observable within current technology.

the energy gap is decreasing monotonously. For temperatures above Tc the system
is an insulator and the corresponding energy gap is monotonously increasing.

Using Bethe-ansatz density-functional theory, we study the one-dimensional
Hubbard model of confined attractively interacting fermions in the presence of
a uniformly distributed disorder. The strongly-correlated Luther-Emery nature
of the attractive one-dimensional Hubbard model is fully taken into account as
the reference system in the density-functional theory. The effects of the
disorder are investigated on atomic-density waves in the weak-to-intermediate
attractive interaction and on spin-singlet dimers of doubly occupied sites in
the strongly attractive regime. It is found that the atomic density waves are
sensitive to the disorder and the spin-singlet dimers of doubly occupied sites
are quite unstable against the disorder. We show also that very weak disorder
could smear the singularities in the stiffness, thus suppress the spin-singlet
pairs.

characterised by a chemical potential and a temperature. We discuss the special

We report on the observation of the d-wave symmetry in the collapse of a
dipolar quantum fluid. More specifically, we experimentally investigate the
collapse dynamics of a dipolar condensate of Cr atoms when the s-wave
scattering length is reduced below the critical value for which the condensate
becomes unstable. A complex dynamics, involving an anisotropic, d-wave
symmetric explosion of the condensate, is observed on time scales significantly
shorter than the trap period. At the same time, the condensate atom number
decreases abruptly during the collapse. We compare our experimental results
with numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation
including the contact and dipolar interactions as well as three-body losses. An
excellent agreement between experiment and theory is obtained. The numerical
simulation indicates that the collapse is accompanied by the formation of two
vortex rings with opposite circulations. The d-wave character of the dipolar
interaction, directly observed here in the collapse dynamics, is expected to
enrich considerably the physics of quantum gases.

We study the crossover of a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas trapped in the
radial plane from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) regime to the
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime by crossing a wide Feshbach resonance.
Using an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian with renormalized interaction
between atoms and dressed molecules, we calculate the zero temperature cloud
size and number density distribution and conclude that the results are
consistent with the picture of a BCS-BEC crossover. These results are in clear
contrast to the predictions of an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian with
renormalized atom-atom interaction, where a constant cloud size and identical
density profile are expected for arbitrary detunings. This inconsistence
indicates that the inclusion of dressed molecules is essential to describe
quasi-two-dimensional Fermi systems, especially on the BEC side of the Feshbach
resonance.

Quantum phase transition is one of the main interests in the field of
condensed matter physics, while geometric phase is a fundamental concept and
has attracted considerable interest in the field of quantum mechanics. However,
no relevant relation was recognized before recent work. In this paper, we
present a review of the connection recently established between these two
interesting fields: investigations in the geometric phase of the many-body
systems have revealed so-called "criticality of geometric phase", in which
geometric phase associated with the many-body ground state exhibits
universality, or scaling behavior in the vicinity of the critical point. In
addition, we address the recent advances on the connection of some other
geometric quantities and quantum phase transitions. The closed relation
recently recognized between quantum phase transitions and some of geometric
quantities may open attractive avenues and fruitful dialog between different
scientific communities.

entangled photons are sent through optical fibers and directed into unbalanced
interferometers at two receiving stations separated by 18 km. At each station,
the detection of a photon triggers the displacement of a macroscopic mass. The
timing ensures space-like separation from the moment a photon enters its
interferometer until the mass has moved. 2-photon interference fringes with a
visibility of up to 90.5% are obtained, leading to a violation of Bell

A sufficiently large species imbalance (polarization) in a two-component
Feshbach resonant Fermi gas is known to drive the system into its normal state.
We show that the resulting strongly-interacting state is a conventional Fermi
liquid, that is, however, strongly renormalized by pairing fluctuations. Using
a controlled 1/N expansion, we calculate the properties of this state with a
particular emphasis on the atomic spectral function, the momentum distribution
functions displaying the Migdal discontinuity, and the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum. We discuss the latter in the light of the recent experiments of
Schunck et al. (cond-mat/0702066) on such a resonant Fermi gas, and show that
the observations are consistent with a conventional, but strongly renormalized
Fermi-liquid picture.

The core structure of multiply quantized vortices is theoretically
investigated in fermionic superfluid near Feshbach resonance. Under population
imbalance in two hyperfine spin states, the vortex core is filled in by the
``paramagnetic moment''. Here, we find the spatial oscillation of the
magnetization inside the core sensitively due to the topological structure of
the pairing field, in the range from the weak coupling regime to the unitary
limit. This magnetization inside the giant core reveals the winding number of
the vortex and directly results from the low-lying quasiparticle states bound
inside the core. It is therefore proposed that the density profile experiment
using phase contrast imaging can provide the spectroscopy of novel core level
structures in giant vortices. To help the understanding on these outcomes, we
also derive the analytic solution for the low-lying quasiparticle states inside
the core of a multiply quantized vortex.

Title: Theory of cavity-assisted microwave cooling of polar molecules
Authors: Margareta Wallquist, Peter Rabl, Mikhail D. Lukin and Peter Zoller
Categories: quant-ph

\\
We analyze cavity-assisted cooling schemes for polar molecules in the
microwave domain, where molecules are excited on a rotational transition and
energy is dissipated via strong interactions with a lossy stripline cavity, as
recently proposed by A. Andre et al., Nature Physics 2, 636 (2006). We identify
the dominant cooling and heating mechanisms in this setup and study cooling
rates and final temperatures in various parameter regimes. In particular we
analyze the effects of a finite environment temperature on the cooling
efficiency, and find minimal temperature and optimized cooling rate in the
strong drive regime. Further we discuss the trade-off between efficiency of
cavity cooling and robustness with respect to ubiquitous imperfections in a
realistic experimental setup, such as anharmonicity of the trapping potential.

Strongly correlated quantum matter (from high-temperature superconductors,
through oxides and heavy fermions to quantum Hall devices) remains an
outstanding scientific challenge. In it, electron itineracy survives in spite
of strong interactions. A general framework was proposed for its understanding
in [Kivelson, Fradkin and Emery, Nature 393, 550-553 (1998)]. It rests on
liquid crystalline phases intervening between the Fermi gas and the Wigner
crystal or Mott insulator as the strength of correlations increases. In this
work we propose an alternative realisation of the relevant physics in an
ultra-cold atomic gas. It exploits optical lattices and dipolar interactions to
realise a particularly simple model which can be tuned systematically. We
analyze theoretically the system and discover that three phase transitions
compete: a meta-nematic, quasi-1D to 2D transition, where inter-chain
interaction leads to the closing of the Fermi surface; a transition into a
striped phase; and crystallisation of the fermions into a `checkerboard'
pattern.

We produce Bose-Einstein condensates of two different species, $^{87}$Rb and
$^{41}$K, in an optical dipole trap in proximity of interspecies Feshbach
resonances. We discover and characterize two Feshbach resonances, located
around 35 and 79 G, by observing the three-body losses and the elastic
cross-section. The narrower resonance is exploited to create a double species
condensate with tunable interactions. Our system opens the way to the
exploration of double species Mott insulators and, more in general, of the
quantum phase diagram of the two species Bose-Hubbard model.

We report the observation of the $A_{\rm g}$-symmetric one-magnon Raman peak
in the magnon Bose-Einstein condensation phase of TlCuCl$_{3}$. Its Raman shift
traces the one-magnon energy at the magnetic $\Gamma$ point, and its intensity
is proportional to the squared transverse magnetization. The appearance of the
one-magnon Raman scattering originates from the exchange magnon Raman process
and reflects the change of the magnetic-state symmetry. Using the bond-operator
representation, we theoretically clarify the Raman selection rules, being
consistent with the experimental results.

We investigate the ground state properties of a newly discovered phase of one
dimensional lattice bosons with extended interactions (see E. G. Dalla Torre et
al., Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{97}, 260401 (2006)). The new phase, termed the
Haldane Insulator (HI) in analogy with the gapped phase of spin-1 chains, is
characterized by a non local order parameter, which can only be written as an
infinite string in terms of the bosonic densities. We show that the string
order can nevertheless be probed with physical fields that couple locally, via
the effect those fields have on the quantum phase transitions separating the
exotic phase from the conventional Mott and density wave phases. Using a field
theoretical analysis we show that a perturbation which breaks lattice inversion
symmetry gaps the critical point separating the Mott and Haldane phases and
eliminates the sharp distinction between them. This is remarkable given that
neither of these phases involves broken inversion symmetry. We also investigate
the evolution of the phase diagram with the tunable coupling between parallel
chains in an optical lattice setup. We find that inter-chain tunneling destroys
the direct phase transition between the Mott and Haldane insulators by
establishing an intermediate superfluid phase. On the other hand coupling the
chains only by weak repulsive interactions does not modify the structure of the
phase diagram. The theoretical predictions are confirmed with numerical
calculations using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG).

We study a trapped system of fermions with a zero-range two-body interaction
on the BCS side of unitarity using the Shell-Model Monte Carlo method. The
method provides ab initio results in the low N limit where the BCS mean-field
theory is not applicable. The energy and pairing properties are presented as
functions of interaction strength, particle number, and temperature. In the
interesting region where the typical matrix elements of the two-body
interaction is comparable to the level spacing of the trap we find large
odd-even effects and signatures of shell structure. As a function of
temperature, we observe the disappearance of these effects as in a phase
transition.

We show how to map a given n-qubit target Hamiltonian with bounded-strength
k-body interactions onto a simulator Hamiltonian with two-body interactions,
such that the ground-state energy of the target and the simulator Hamiltonians
are the same up to an extensive error O(epsilon n) for arbitrary small epsilon.
The strength of interactions in the simulator Hamiltonian depends on epsilon
and k but does not depend on n. We accomplish this reduction using a new way of
deriving an effective low-energy Hamiltonian which relies on the
Schrieffer-Wolff transformation of many-body physics.

Optical nonlinearities typically require macroscopic media, thereby making
their implementation at the quantum level an outstanding challenge. Here we
demonstrate a nonlinearity for one atom enclosed by two highly reflecting
mirrors. We send laser light through the input mirror and record the light from
the output mirror of the cavity. For weak laser intensity, we find the
vacuum-Rabi resonances. But for higher intensities, we find an additional
resonance. It originates from the fact that the cavity can accommodate only an
integer number of photons and that this photon number determines the
characteristic frequencies of the coupled atom-cavity system. We selectively
excite such a frequency by depositing at once two photons into the system and
find a transmission which increases with the laser intensity squared. The
nonlinearity differs from classical saturation nonlinearities and is direct
spectroscopic proof of the quantum nature of the atom-cavity system. It
provides a photon-photon interaction by means of one atom, and constitutes a
step towards a two-photon gateway or a single-photon transistor.

We recently proposed a scheme for the creation of coherent superpositions of
vortex states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) using orbital angular momentum
(OAM) states of light [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 173601 (2005)]. Here we discuss
further technical details of the proposal, provide alternative,
time-reversal-symmetric scheme for transfer of a superposition of OAM states of
light to the BEC via a procedure analogous to the traditional STimulated Raman
Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) technique, and discuss an alternative trap
configuration conducive for sustaining large charge vortices. Superpositions of
OAM states of light, created using experimental techniques, can be transfered
to an initially nonrotating BEC via a specially devised Raman coupling scheme.
The techniques proposed here open up avenues to study coherent interaction of
OAM states of light with matter. The study could also be employed for
performing various quantum information processing tasks with OAM states of
light--including a memory for a quantum state of the initial superposition.

periodicity from 0.96 $\mu$m to 11.2 $\mu$m in one second, while the center
fringe only moves less than 2.7 $\mu$m during the whole process. This provides
a powerful tool for controlling ultracold atoms in optical lattices, where
small spacing is essential for quantum tunneling, and large spacing enables
single-site manipulation and spatially resolved detection.

\\
Laser cooling of a mechanical mode of a resonator by the radiation pressure
of a detuned optical cavity mode has been recently demonstrated by various
groups in different experimental configurations. Here we consider the effect of
a second mechanical mode with a close, but different resonance frequency. We
show that the nearby mechanical resonance is simultaneously cooled by the
cavity field, provided that the difference between the two mechanical
frequencies is not too small. When this frequency difference becomes smaller
than the effective mechanical damping of the secondary mode, the two cooling
processes interfere destructively and cavity cooling is suppressed in the limit
of identical mechanical frequencies. We show that also the entanglement
properties of the steady state of the tripartite system crucially depend upon
on the difference between the two mechanical frequencies. If the latter is
larger than the effective damping of the second mechanical mode, the state
shows fully tripartite entanglement and each mechanical mode is entangled with
the cavity mode. If instead the frequency difference is smaller, the steady
state is a two-mode biseparable state, inseparable only when one splits the
cavity mode from the two mechanical modes. In this latter case, the
entanglement of each mechanical mode with the cavity mode is extremely fragile
with respect to temperature.

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations and the Local Density Approximation
(LDA) are used to map the constant particle number (canonical) trajectories of
the Bose Hubbard Hamiltonian confined in a harmonic trap onto the $(\mu/U,t/U)$
phase diagram of the uniform system. Generically, these curves do not intercept
the tips of the Mott insulator (MI) lobes of the uniform system. This
observation necessitates a clarification of the appropriate comparison between
critical couplings obtained in experiments on trapped systems with those
obtained in QMC simulations. The density profiles and visibility are also
obtained along these trajectories. Density profiles from QMC in the confined
case are compared with LDA results.

In this paper we develop a theoretical description of the correlations
between ultra-cold bosons after free expansion from confinement in an optical
lattice. We consider the system evolution during expansion and give criteria
for a far field regime. We develop expressions for first and second order
two-point correlations based on a variety of commonly used approximations to
the many-body state of the system including Bogoliubov, meanfield decoupling,
and particle-hole perturbative solution about the perfect Mott-insulator state.
Using these approaches we examine the effects of quantum depletion and pairing
on the system correlations. Comparison with the directly calculated correlation
functions is used to justify a Gaussian form of our theory from which we
develop a general three-dimensional formalism for inhomogeneous lattice
systems.

We investigate the spreading of information in a Bose-Hubbard system after a
sudden parameter change. In particular, we study the time-evolution of
correlations and entanglement following a quench. The investigated quantities
show a light-cone like evolution, i.e. the spreading with a finite velocity. We
discuss the relation of this veloctiy to other characteristic velocities of the
system, like the sound velocity. The entanglement is investigated using two
different measures, the von-Neuman entropy and mutual information. Whereas the
von-Neumann entropy grows rapidly with time the mutual information can as well
decrease after an initial increase. Additionally we show that the static von
Neuman entropy characterises the location of the quantum phase transition.

A trapped polariton condensate with continuous pumping and decay is analyzed
using a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii model. Whereas an equilibrium condensate
is characterized by a macroscopic occupation of a ground state, here the
steady-states take more general forms. Some are characterized by a large
population in an excited state, and others by large populations in several
states. In the latter case, the highly-populated states synchronize to a common
frequency above a critical density. Estimates for the critical density of this
synchronization transition are consistent with experiments.
