Simulating Dirac models with ultracold atoms in optical lattices (1710.04416v1)
Published 12 Oct 2017 in quant-ph, cond-mat.quant-gas, and physics.atom-ph
Abstract: We present a general model allowing "quantum simulation" of one-dimensional Dirac models with 2- and 4-component spinors using ultracold atoms in driven 1D tilted optical latices. The resulting Dirac physics is illustrated by one of its well-known manifestations, Zitterbewegung. This general model can be extended and applied with great flexibility to more complex situations.
