Density-density correlation of incoherent atoms with angular momentum released from an optical lattice

Shujuan Liu, Hongwei Xiong, Baolong Lü

For a series of incoherent and ultracold atoms with an orbital angular momentum (or vortices) released from an optical lattice, we consider the density-density correlation of this freely expanding ultracold gases. Because of the unique phase structure originating from the quantized angular momentum, it is shown that the phase structure plays an important role in the distribution of the density-density correlation through the appearance of crescent-shaped peaks accompanying the ordinary round-shaped peaks. In particular, it is found that the orientation of the crescent-shaped peaks corresponds with the rotation direction of the atoms prepared in the optical lattices.

Interference Pattern of Density-Density Correlation for Incoherent Atoms with Vortices Released from an Optical Lattice

Xu Zhi-Jun, Dongmei Zhang, Xiayin Liu

For a series of incoherent condensate atomic clouds with vortices (an orbital angular momentum) released from an optical lattice, the density-density correlation function of this freely expanding ultracold gases is theoretically investigated. It is shown that the nonzero angular momentum of the atoms has an important effect on the fringe pattern of density-density correlation. Particularly, for a short expansion time, even the rotation direction of the atoms could have an observable effect on the fringe pattern. Observation of this specific fringe pattern would constitute experimental evidence for the presence of a vortex in an atomic condensate.

Density–Density Correlation Spectra of Ultracold Bosonic Gas Released from a Deep 1D Optical Lattice

Yunzhi Tan, Qiang Zhu, Bing Wang +3 more

Density-density correlation analysis is a convenient diagnostic tool to reveal the hidden order in the strongly correlated phases of ultracold atoms. We report on a study of the density-density correlations of ultracold bosonic atoms which were initially prepared in a Mott insulator (MI) state in one-dimensional optical lattices. For the atomic gases released from the deep optical lattice, we extracted the normalized density-density correlation function from the atomic density distributions of freely expanded atomic clouds. Periodic bunching peaks were observed in the density-density correlation spectra, as in the case of higher-dimensional lattices. Treating the bosonic gas within each lattice well as a subcondensate without quantum tunneling, we simulated the post-expansion density distribution along the direction of the 1D lattice, and the calculated density-density correlation spectra agreed with our experimental observations.
