Cold Atom Physics and Bose-Einstein Condensates

We propose and characterize solid-state photonic structures where light experiences an artificial gauge field. A nontrivial phase for photons tunneling between adjacent sites of a coupled cavity array can be obtained by inserting optically active materials in the structure or by inducing a suitable coupling of the pro…

We present an analytical theory for the nonlinear optical response of a strongly interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. Simple formulas for the third-order optical susceptibility are derived and shown to be in excellent agreement with recent experiments. The obtained expr…

We investigate the validity conditions of the single-mode approximation (SMA) in a spinor-1 atomic condensate when effects due to residual magnetic fields are negligible. For atomic interactions of the ferromagnetic type, the SMA is shown to be exact, with a mode function different from what is commonly used. However,…

For more than a century the study of optical-resonance collision shifts in thermal atomic vapors has provided a window into atom/atom and atom/molecule interactions at low energies (i.e., ~ 30 meV). Overall, the agreement between theory and experiment has been good, suggesting that an understanding of these interactio…

We discuss how a three-level system can be used to change the frequency-dependent magnetic permeability of an atomic gas to be significantly different from 1. We derive the conditions for such a scheme to be successful and briefly discuss the resulting macroscopic electrodynamics. We find that it may be possible to ob…

Abstract The nuclear modification factors of $${\mathrm {J}/\psi }$$ J / ψ and $$\psi \text {(2S)}$$ ψ (2S) mesons are measured in $$\text {PbPb}$$ PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $$\sqrt{\smash [b]{s_{_{\text {NN}}}}} = 5.02\,\text {Te}\text {V} $$ s NN = 5.02 TeV . The analysis is base…

We discuss the relationship between exact solvability of the Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent mass and the ordering ambiguity in the Hamiltonian operator within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, derived from the general form of the effective mass…

We analyze the phase diagram of uniform superfluidity for two-species fermion mixtures from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) limit as a function of the scattering parameter and population imbalance. We find at zero temperature that the phase diagram of population imbalance versus scatt…
