Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: mimicking condensed matter physics and beyond

M Lewenstein, A Sanpera, V Ahufinger… - Advances in …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Anderson localization of a non-interacting Bose–Einstein condensate

G Roati, C D'Errico, L Fallani, M Fattori, C Fort… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Anderson localization of waves in disordered media was originally predicted fifty years ago,
in the context of transport of electrons in crystals. The phenomenon is much more general …

Direct observation of Anderson localization of matter waves in a controlled disorder

J Billy, V Josse, Z Zuo, A Bernard, B Hambrecht… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
In 1958, Anderson predicted the localization 1 of electronic wavefunctions in disordered
crystals and the resulting absence of diffusion. It is now recognized that Anderson …

Three-dimensional Anderson localization of ultracold matter

SS Kondov, WR McGehee, JJ Zirbel, B DeMarco - Science, 2011 - science.org
Anderson localization (AL) is a ubiquitous interference phenomenon in which waves fail to
propagate in a disordered medium. We observe three-dimensional AL of noninteracting …

Ultracold atoms in a disordered crystal of light: Towards a Bose glass

L Fallani, JE Lye, V Guarrera, C Fort, M Inguscio - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We use a bichromatic optical lattice to experimentally realize a disordered system of
ultracold strongly interacting Rb 87 bosons. In the absence of disorder, the atoms are pinned …
