• Title: Transport of atoms across an optical lattice using an external harmonic potential
• Authors: Tom Dowdall and Andreas Ruschhaupt
• Abstract summary: We consider the task of transporting an atom using an external harmonic potential from one well of an optical lattice to another without motional excitations. We apply techniques from Shortcuts to Adiabaticity (STA) enabling fast and robust state manipulation. We extend this method to the transport of a Bose-Einstein condensate described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

• Abstract: Precise control of quantum particles is required for many interesting or novel experiments. Here we consider the task of transporting an atom using an external harmonic potential from one well of an optical lattice to another without motional excitations. To achieve this we apply techniques from Shortcuts to Adiabaticity (STA) enabling fast and robust state manipulation. The process is split up into three independent building blocks; first the atom is loaded into an additional external harmonic trap; this trap is then transported from one lattice site to another and finally the atom is unloaded back onto the lattice by opening the external harmonic trap. We design protocols for each of these building blocks separately using invariant-based inverse engineering. Additionally we extend this method to the transport of a Bose-Einstein condensate described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.
