Quench-induced resonant tunneling mechanisms of bosons in an optical lattice with harmonic confinement

Georgios M. Koutentakis, S. I. Mistakidis, Peter Schmelcher

The nonequilibrium dynamics of small boson ensembles in a one-dimensional optical lattice is explored upon a sudden quench of an additional harmonic trap from strong to weak confinement. We find that the competition between the initial localization and the repulsive interaction leads to a resonant response of the system for intermediate quench amplitudes, corresponding to avoided crossings in the many-body eigenspectrum with varying final trap frequency. In particular, we show that these avoided crossings can be utilized to prepare the system in a desired state. The dynamical response is shown to depend on both the interaction strength as well as the number of atoms manifesting the many-body nature of the tunneling dynamics.

The role of interactions, tunneling, and harmonic confinement on the adiabatic loading of bosons in an optical lattice

Ana María Rey, Guido Pupillo, J. V. Porto

We calculate entropy-temperature curves for interacting bosons in unit filled optical lattices for both homogeneous and harmonically trapped situations, and use them to understand how adiabatic changes in the lattice depth affect the temperature of the system. In a translationally invariant lattice, the zero tunneling limit facilitates a rather detailed analytic description. Unlike the noninteracting bosonic system which is always cooled upon adiabatic loading for low enough initial temperature, the change in the excitation spectrum induced by interactions can lead to heating. Finite tunneling helps to reduce this heating. Finally, we study the spatially inhomogeneous system confined in a parabolic potential and show that the presence of the trap can significantly reduce the final available temperature, due to the nonvanishing superfluid component at the edge of the cloud which is present in trapped systems.
