Abstract

We discuss some application of the simple magneto-optical trap to study of the interdisciplinary nature in nonequilibrium statistical physics and condensed matter physics, such as nonlinear bifurcation, mesoscopic physics, cooperative instability, plasma physics, and nano physics.

Theoretical Study of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Parametrically Driven Magneto-Optical Trap

Yong Hee Kim, Myoung-Sun Heo, Heung‐Ryoul Noh +2 more

Recently, spontaneous symmetry breaking of atom population is observed in parametrically driven magneto-optical trap system. We study the SSB theoretically by changing of variable in rotating frame and simplifying the interaction between atoms. We simulate the system varying interaction strength and diffusion constant, then compare with the experimental results.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking of Population in a Nonadiabatically Driven Atomic Trap: An Ising-Class Phase Transition

Kihwan Kim, Myoung-Sun Heo, Ki-Hwan Lee +4 more

We have observed spontaneous symmetry breaking of the population of Brownian particles between two moving potentials in the spatiotemporally symmetric system. Cold atoms preferentially occupy one of the dynamic double-well potentials, produced in the parametrically driven dissipative magneto-optical trap far from equilibrium, above a critical number of atoms. We find that the population asymmetry, which may be interpreted as the biased Brownian motion, can be qualitatively described by the mean-field Ising-class phase transition. This in situ study may be useful for investigation of dynamic phase transition or temporal behavior of critical phenomena.
