Abstract

We show that it is possible to simulate an anyon by a trapped atom which possesses an induced electric dipole moment in the background of electric and magnetic fields in a specific configuration. The electric and magnetic fields we applied contain a magnetic and two electric fields. We find that when the atom is cooled down to the limit of the negligibly small kinetic energy, the atom behaves like an anyon because its angular momentum takes fractional values. The fractional part of the angular momentum is determined by both the magnetic and one of the electric fields. Roles electric and magnetic fields played are analyzed.

The fractional angular momentum realized by a cold neutral atom

Jian Jing, Qiu-Yue Zhang, Qing Wang +2 more

Inspired by the electromagnetic duality, we propose an approach to realize the fractional angular momentum by using a cold atom which possesses a permanent magnetic dipole momentum. This atom interacts with two electric fields and is trapped by a harmonic potential which enable the motion of the atom to be planar and rotationally symmetric. We show that eigenvalues of the canonical angular momentum of the cold atom can take fractional values when the atom is cooled down to its lowest kinetic energy level. The fractional part of canonical angular momentum is dual to that of the fractional angular momenta realized by using a charged particle. Another approach of getting the fractional angular momentum is also presented. The differences between these two approaches are investigated.

Fractional Angular Momentum of an Atom on a Noncommutative Plane*

Jian Jing, Qiu-Yue Zhang, Qing xiang Wang +2 more

Abstract The mechanism of obtaining the fractional angular momentum by employing a trapped atom which possesses a permanent magnetic dipole moment in the background of two electric fields is reconsidered by using an alternative method. Then, we generalize this model to a noncommutative plane. We show that there are two different mechanisms, which include cooling down the atom to the negligibly small kinetic energy and modulating the density of electric charges to the critical value to get the fractional angular momentum theoretically .

Ultracold Rare-Earth Magnetic Atoms with an Electric Dipole Moment

Maxence Lepers, Hui Li, Jean-François Wyart +2 more

We propose a new method to produce an electric and magnetic dipolar gas of ultracold dysprosium atoms. The pair of nearly degenerate energy levels of opposite parity, at 17513.33 cm^{-1} with electronic angular momentum J=10, and at 17514.50 cm^{-1} with J=9, can be mixed with an external electric field, thus inducing an electric dipole moment in the laboratory frame. For field amplitudes relevant to current-day experiments, i.e., an electric field of 5 kV/cm, we predict a large magnetic dipole moment up to 13 Bohr magnetons, and sizeable electric dipole moment up to 0.22 D. When a magnetic field is present, we show that the induced electric dipole moment is strongly dependent on the angle between the fields. The lifetime of the field-mixed levels is found in the millisecond range, thus allowing for suitable experimental detection and manipulation.

Chern–Simons quantum mechanics and fractional angular momentum in atom system

Yao-Yao Ma, Qiu-Yue Zhang, Qing Wang +1 more

The model of a planar atom which possesses a nonvanishing electric dipole moment interacting with magnetic fields in a specific setting is studied. Energy spectra of this model and its reduced model, which is the limit of cooling down the atom to the negligible kinetic energy, are solved exactly. We show that energy spectra of the reduced model cannot be obtained directly from the full ones by taking the same limit. In order to get the energy spectra of the reduced model from the full model, we must regularize energy spectra of the full model properly when the limit of the negligible kinetic energy is taken. It is one of the characteristics of the Chern–Simons quantum mechanics. Besides this, the canonical angular momentum of the reduced model will take fractional values although the full model can only take integers. It means that it is possible to realize the Chern–Simons quantum mechanics and fractional angular momentum simultaneously by this model.
