Evidence for Metallic Behavior in an Atomic Bose-Hubbard System

David C. McKay, Matt White, Matthew Pasienski +1 more

We have observed a metallic-like state, which persists to the zerotemperature limit, in a 3D Bose-Hubbard system of ultra-cold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. The damping rate of atomic motion— the analog of electrical resistance in a solid—in the confining parabolic potential fits well to a model that includes finite damping at zero temperature. The low-temperature behavior is consistent with the theory of quantum tunneling of phase slips, while at higher temperatures a cross-over consistent with the transition between quantum tunneling and thermal activation of phase slips is evident. The existence of a metallic phase in a bosonic system may have implications for the unusual dissipative phases apparent in solid-state superconducting films. The ground state of a system of bosons is predicted to be either superconducting or insulating (1). However, experiments on superconducting films have shown that a dissipative phase can exist to the lowest temperatures attainable. For example, experiments on

Connecting Dissipation and Phase Slips in a Josephson Junction between Fermionic Superfluids

A. Burchianti, Francesco Scazza, Andrea Amico +6 more

We study the emergence of dissipation in an atomic Josephson junction between weakly coupled superfluid Fermi gases. We find that vortex-induced phase slippage is the dominant microscopic source of dissipation across the Bose-Einstein condensate-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover. We explore different dynamical regimes by tuning the bias chemical potential between the two superfluid reservoirs. For small excitations, we observe dissipation and phase coherence to coexist, with a resistive current followed by well-defined Josephson oscillations. We link the junction transport properties to the phase-slippage mechanism, finding that vortex nucleation is primarily responsible for the observed trends of conductance and critical current. For large excitations, we observe the irreversible loss of coherence between the two superfluids, and transport cannot be described only within an uncorrelated phase-slip picture. Our findings open new directions for investigating the interplay between dissipative and superfluid transport in strongly correlated Fermi systems, and general concepts in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems.

Phase slips driven by acoustic waves in Bose-Einstein condensates with ring topology

Yevhenii Kuriatnikov, A. O. Olashyn, A. I. Yakimenko

Rotational superradiance is one of the most fascinating phenomena in black-hole physics. Here, with the aim of probing quantum properties of superradiance in the lab, we investigate the interaction of the acoustic waves with quantum vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in the framework of dissipative mean-field model. We find the conditions of the acoustic-induced quantum phase slips in condensates with ring topology and discuss the possibility of observing an acoustic analogue of quantum superradiance in ultracold atomic gases.
