Realizing the Frenkel-Kontorova model with Rydberg-dressed atoms (2006.16304v2)
Published 29 Jun 2020 in cond-mat.quant-gas and physics.atom-ph
Abstract: We propose a method to realize the Frenkel-Kontorova model using an array of Rydberg dressed atoms. Our platform can be used to study this model with a range of realistic interatomic potentials. In particular, we concentrate on two types of interaction potentials: a springlike potential and a repulsive long-range potential. We numerically calculate the phase diagram for such systems and characterize the Aubry-like and commensurate-incommensurate phase transitions. Experimental realizations of this system that are possible to achieve using current technology are discussed.
