Chaotic Ratchet Effect for Bose–Einstein Condensed Atoms in 1D Optical Lattices
Jianshu Fang, Zhang Xiang-Ping
Abstract
The chaotic ratchet effect for Bose–Einstein condensed atoms in an optical lattice is investigated. By using the direct perturbation method we obtain the chaotic solution of the condensed system. Theoretical analysis reveals that the transport of the condensed atoms in the ratchet potential is a chaotic one, and corresponding numerical results agree well with the theoretical results.
