We theoretically investigate zero-temperature magnetic ordering of mixtures of spin-1 (alkali-metal atoms) and spin-0 (alkaline-earth-metal atoms) bosons in a three-dimensional optical lattice. With the single-mode approximation for the spin-1 bosons, we obtain an effective Bose-Hubbard model for describing the heteronuclear mixtures in optical lattices. By controlling the interspecies interactions between alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms, we map out complete phase diagrams of the system with both positive and negative spin-dependent interactions for spin-1 atoms, based on bosonic dynamical mean-field theory. We find that the spin-1 components feature ferromagnetic and nematic insulating phases, in addition to the superfluid, depending on spin-dependent interactions. Take the spin-1 alkali-metal bosons as spin $\ensuremath{\uparrow}$, and spin-0 alkaline-earth-metal bosons as spin $\ensuremath{\downarrow}$, we observe that the system favors ferromagnetic insulator at filling $n=1$ and unorder insulator at $n=2$ . Interestingly, we observe a two-step Mott-insulating-superfluid phase transition, as a result of mass imbalance between alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms.We theoretically investigate zero-temperature magnetic ordering of mixtures of spin-1 (alkali-metal atoms) and spin-0 (alkaline-earth-metal atoms) bosons in a three-dimensional optical lattice.

We present a complete scheme for quantum information processing using the unique features of alkaline-earth-metal atoms. We show how two completely independent lattices can be formed for the 1S0 and 3P0 states, with one used as a storage lattice for qubits encoded on the nuclear spin, and the other as a transport lattice to move qubits and perform gate operations. We discuss how the 3P2 level can be used for addressing of individual qubits, and how collisional losses from metastable states can be used to perform gates via a lossy blockade mechanism.We present a complete scheme for quantum information processing using the unique features of alkaline-earth-metal atoms.

Two-dipole and three-dipole dispersion coefficients for interaction of alkaline-earth-metal atoms with alkaline-earth-metal atoms and alkaline-earth-metal ions

Neelam Shukla, Bindiya Arora, Lalita Sharma +1 more

Apropos of the growing interest in the study of long-range interactions for their applications in cold-atom physics, we perform theoretical calculations for the two-dipole ${C}_{6}$ and three-dipole ${C}_{9}$ dispersion coefficients involving alkaline-earth-metal atoms with alkaline-earth-metal atoms and alkaline-earth-metal ions. The ${C}_{6}$ and ${C}_{9}$ coefficients are expressed in terms of the dynamic dipole polarizabilities, which are calculated using relativistic methods. Thereafter, the calculated ${C}_{6}$ coefficients for the considered alkaline-earth-metal atoms are compared with previously reported values. Due to unavailability of any other earlier theoretical or experimental results, for the ${C}_{6}$ coefficients for alkaline-earth-metal atoms with alkaline-earth-metal ions and the ${C}_{9}$ coefficients we perform separate fitting calculations and compare the results. Our calculations match in an excellent manner with the fitting calculations. We also report the oscillator strengths for the leading transitions and static dipole polarizabilities for the ground states of the alkaline-earth-metal ions, i.e., ${\mathrm{Be}}^{+}, {\mathrm{Mg}}^{+}, {\mathrm{Ca}}^{+}, {\mathrm{Sr}}^{+}$ , and ${\mathrm{Ba}}^{+}$ , as well as the alkaline-earth-metal atoms, i.e., Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba. These show good agreement when compared with the available experimental results.Apropos of the growing interest in the study of long-range interactions for their applications in cold-atom physics, we perform theoretical calculations for the two-dipole ${C}_{6}$ and three-dipole ${C}_{9}$ dispersion coefficients involving alkaline-earth-metal atoms with alkaline-earth-metal atoms and alkaline-earth-metal ions.
