The cold atom Hubbard toolbox

D Jaksch, P Zoller - Annals of physics, 2005 - Elsevier
We review recent theoretical advances in cold atom physics concentrating on strongly
correlated cold atoms in optical lattices. We discuss recently developed quantum optical …

Superfluidity of Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice: Landau–Zener tunnelling and dynamical instability

B Wu, Q Niu - New journal of Physics, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Superflow of a Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice is represented by a
Bloch wave, a plane wave with periodic modulation of the amplitude. We review the …

Strong-coupling polarons in dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensates

FM Cucchietti, E Timmermans - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
A neutral impurity atom immersed in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can have a
bound ground state in which the impurity is self-localized. In this polaronlike state, the …

Bose-Einstein condensate in a box
