Cooling schemes for two-component fermions in layered optical lattices

Abstract

Recently, a cooling scheme for ultracold atoms in a bilayer optical lattice has been proposed (A. Kantian et al., arXiv:1609.03579). In their scheme, the energy offset between the two layers is increased dynamically such that the entropy of one layer is transferred to the other layer. Using the full-Hilbert-space approach, we compute cooling dynamics subjected to the scheme in order to show that their scheme fails to cool down two-component fermions. We develop an alternative cooling scheme for two-component fermions, in which the spin-exchange interaction of one layer is significantly reduced. Using both full-Hilbert-space and matrix-product-state approaches, we find that our scheme can decrease the temperature of the other layer by roughly half.

Magnetic cooling of ultracold two-component fermions using high-spin Fermi gases

Carsten Klempt, Luis Santos, T. Vekua

Institut fu¨r Quantenoptik, Leibniz Universita¨t Hannover, 30167 Hannover, Germany(Dated: September 15, 2010)We propose a cooling scheme for two-component fermions in optical lattices that employs theinternal structure of high-spin Fermi gases. Adiabatically changing the quadratic Zeeman couplingfrom a uniform distribution to a space dependent one allows for the creation of an inner spin-1/2 coresurrounded by spin-S wings. We show that, due to frustration, spin-S regions act via spin-changingcollisions as effective entropy absorbers for the spin-1/2 core with increasing efficiency at lowertemperatures and higher dimensions. We illustrate our scheme explicitly on 1D spin-3/2 fermions,showing that the entropy of the spin-1/2 Mott region can be significantly reduced. Our findingssuggest that the proposed method can be highly efficient, opening a feasible path for accessinganti-ferromagnetic order under current experimental conditions.

Dynamical Disentangling and Cooling of Atoms in Bilayer Optical Lattices

Adrian Kantian, S. Langer, Andrew J. Daley

We show how experimentally available bilayer lattice systems can be used to prepare quantum many-body states with exceptionally low entropy in one layer, by dynamically disentangling the two layers. This disentangling operation moves one layer-subsystem A-into a regime where excitations in A develop a single-particle gap. As a result, this operation maps directly to cooling for subsystem A, with entropy being shuttled to the other layer. For both bosonic and fermionic atoms, we study the corresponding dynamics showing that disentangling can be realized cleanly in ongoing experiments. The corresponding entanglement entropies are directly measurable with quantum gas microscopes, and, as a tool for producing lower-entropy states, this technique opens a range of applications beginning with simplifying production of magnetically ordered states of bosons and fermions.

Orbital magnetism of ultracold fermionic gases in a lattice: Dynamical mean-field approach

Agnieszka Cichy, Andrii Sotnikov

We study finite-temperature properties of ultracold four-component mixtures of alkaline-earth-metal-like atoms in optical lattices that can be effectively described by the two-band spin-$1/2$ Hubbard model including Hund's exchange coupling term. Our main goal is to investigate the effect of exchange interactions on finite-temperature magnetic phases for a wide range of lattice fillings. We use the dynamical mean-field theory approach and its real-space generalization to obtain finite-temperature phase diagrams including transitions to magnetically ordered phases. It allows to determine optimal experimental regimes for approaching long-range ferromagnetic ordering in ultracold gases. We also calculate the entropy in the vicinity of magnetically ordered phases, which provides quantitative predictions for ongoing and future experiments aiming at approaching and studying long-range ordered states in optical lattices.

Interaction-Induced Adiabatic Cooling and Antiferromagnetism of Cold Fermions in Optical Lattices

Félix Werner, Olivier Parcollet, Antoine Georges +1 more

We propose an interaction-induced cooling mechanism for two-component cold fermions in an optical lattice. It is based on an increase of the spin entropy upon localization, an analogue of the Pomeranchuk effect in liquid helium 3. We discuss its application to the experimental realization of the antiferromagnetic phase. We illustrate our arguments with dynamical mean-field theory calculations.

Ground-state cooling of atoms in optical lattices

M. Popp, Juan José García‐Ripoll, K. G. H. Vollbrecht +1 more

We propose two schemes for cooling bosonic and fermionic atoms that are trapped in a deep optical lattice. The first scheme is a quantum algorithm based on particle number filtering and state dependent lattice shifts. The second protocol alternates filtering with a redistribution of particles by means of quantum tunnelling. We provide a complete theoretical analysis of both schemes and characterize the cooling efficiency in terms of the entropy. Our schemes do not require addressing of single lattice sites and use a novel method, which is based on coherent laser control, to perform very fast filtering.

Energy transfer in a bilayer Fermi gas in the non-linear regime

B. Renklioglu, Mehmet Özgür Oktel, B. Tanatar

We consider a bilayer system of two-dimensional spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas without any tunneling between the layers. We calculate the energy transfer rate between the layers in the non-linear regime where the layers have a relative velocity, as a function of temperature and drift velocities of the particles of the system in each layer. The effective interactions describing the correlation effects and screening between the dipoles are obtained by the Hubbard approximation in a single layer (intra-layer), and the random-phase approximation (RPA) across the layers (inter-layer). The energy transfer arises from the long-range nature of dipolar interactions between the particles of the system. As a result of the increasing drift velocities, the non-linear heat transfer between the layers remarkably increases and the system reaches its equilibrium at lower temperatures. Our calculations show that cooling with dipolar interactions without any material contact can be utilized to cool the ultracold dipolar systems.
