  2. 1. Ultracold atoms in optical potentials : from noise-induced transport to superfluidity

    Author : Martin Zelan; Claude Dion; Sile Nic Chormaic; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Brownian motors; noise-induced transport; superfluidity; ultracold atoms; optical potentials; optical lattices; laser coooling; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, both experimental studies and numerical simulations of ultracold atoms in optical potentials are presented in a collection of nine scientific papers. In particular, noise-induced transport in dissipative optical lattices and superfluid properties of Bose-Einstein condensates have been studied. READ MORE
