- Title: Angular Bloch Oscillations and their applications
- Authors: Bernd Konrad and Maxim Efremov
- Abstract summary: We investigate the dynamics of ultra-cold atoms confined in a toroidal trap with a ring-lattice along the azimuth angle.
In the presence of external rotation of small angular acceleration, or prescribed linear chirp between the two beams, the measured angular momentum of trapped atoms displays a specific periodic behaviour in time.

- Abstract: To advance precise inertial navigation, we present a compact quantum sensor
which is based on novel quantum phenomenon of the angular Bloch oscillations
and measures solely the angular acceleration of slow external rotation. We
investigate the dynamics of ultra-cold atoms confined in a toroidal trap with a
ring-lattice along the azimuth angle, realized with the superposition of two
copropagating Laguerre-Gaussian beams. In the presence of external rotation of
small angular acceleration, or prescribed linear chirp between the two beams,
the measured angular momentum of trapped atoms displays a specific periodic
behaviour in time, which we name as the angular Bloch oscillations. This
discovered quantum phenomenon is shown to be a key element of fruitful
applications for (i) an efficient transfer of quantized angular momentum from
light field to atoms by controlling the chirp, and (ii) the direct
determination of the angular acceleration of external rotation by measuring the
Bloch period.

A quasiparticle formed by a quantum rotor dressed by the excitations of a many-body bath can be used to describe an impurity rotating in a fluid or solid environment.
We reveal the quasiparticle properties, such as energies, quasiparticle weights and spectral functions, and show that our ansatz yields a persistent decrease in the impurity's rotational constant due to many-body dressing.
