We will first derive a +general Hamiltonian that describes the coupling of atoms with +far-detuned optical beams \cite{mekhov2012}. This will serve as the +basis from which we explore the system in different parameter regimes, +such as nondestructive measurement in free space or quantum +measurement backaction in a cavity. + +We consider $N$ two-level atoms in an optical lattice with $M$ +sites. For simplicity we will restrict our attention to spinless +bosons, although it is straightforward to generalise to fermions, +which yields its own set of interesting quantum phenomena +\cite{atoms2015, mazzucchi2016, mazzucchi2016af}, and other spin +particles. The theory can be also be generalised to continuous +systems, but the restriction to optical lattices is convenient for a +variety of reasons. Firstly, it allows us to precisely describe a +many-body atomic state over a broad range of parameter values due to +the inherent tunability of such lattices. Furthermore, this model is +capable of describing a range of different experimental setups ranging +from a small number of sites with a large filling factor (e.g.~BECs +trapped in a double-well potential) to a an extended multi-site +lattice with a low filling factor (e.g.~a system with one atom per +site will exhibit the Mott insulator to superfluid quantum phase +transition). \mynote{extra fermion citations, Piazza?} + + + diff --git a/References/references.bib b/References/references.bib index e69de29..5cee380 100644 --- a/References/references.bib +++ b/References/references.bib @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +@article{mekhov2012, + title={Quantum optics with ultracold quantum gases: towards the full quantum regime of the light--matter interaction}, + author={Mekhov, Igor B and Ritsch, Helmut}, + journal={Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics}, + volume={45}, + number={10}, + pages={102001}, + year={2012}, + publisher={IOP Publishing} +} +@article{mazzucchi2016, + title = {Quantum measurement-induced dynamics of many-body ultracold bosonic and fermionic systems in optical lattices}, + author = {Mazzucchi, Gabriel and Kozlowski, Wojciech and Caballero-Benitez, Santiago F. and Elliott, Thomas J. and Mekhov, Igor B.}, + journal = {Physical Review A}, + volume = {93}, + issue = {2}, + pages = {023632}, + numpages = {12}, + year = {2016}, + month = {Feb}, + publisher = {American Physical Society} +} +@article{atoms2015, + title={Probing and Manipulating Fermionic and Bosonic Quantum Gases with Quantum Light}, + author={Elliott, Thomas J and Mazzucchi, Gabriel and Kozlowski, Wojciech and Caballero-Benitez, Santiago F and Mekhov, Igor B}, + journal={Atoms}, + volume={3}, + number={3}, + pages={392--406}, + year={2015}, + publisher={Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute} +} +@article{mazzucchi2016af, + title={Quantum measurement-induced antiferromagnetic order and density modulations in ultracold Fermi gases in optical lattices}, + author={Mazzucchi, Gabriel and Caballero-Benitez, Santiago F and Mekhov, Igor B}, + journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:1510.04883}, + year={2015} +} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/thesis.pdf b/thesis.pdf deleted file mode 100644 index e164511..0000000 Binary files a/thesis.pdf and /dev/null differ diff --git a/thesis.tex b/thesis.tex index bfcd5c8..d34819e 100644 --- a/thesis.tex +++ b/thesis.tex @@ -136,7 +136,7 @@ \mainmatter \include{Chapter1/chapter1} -%\include{Chapter2/chapter2} +\include{Chapter2/chapter2} %\include{Chapter3/chapter3} %\include{Chapter4/chapter4} %\include{Chapter5/chapter5} @@ -156,8 +156,8 @@ % Bibliography style previews: http://nodonn.tipido.net/bibstyle.php % Reference styles: http://sites.stat.psu.edu/~surajit/present/bib.htm -\bibliographystyle{apalike} -%\bibliographystyle{unsrt} % Use for unsorted references +%\bibliographystyle{apalike} +\bibliographystyle{unsrt} % Use for unsorted references %\bibliographystyle{plainnat} % use this to have URLs listed in References \cleardoublepage \bibliography{References/references} % Path to your References.bib file
