Electric quantum walks with individual atoms

M Genske, W Alt, A Steffen, AH Werner, RF Werner… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
We report on the experimental realization of electric quantum walks, which mimic the effect
of an electric field on a charged particle in a lattice. Starting from a textbook implementation …

Quantum walks
