Behavior analogous to that of spontaneous emission in photonic band gap materials has been predicted for an atom-optical system consisting of an atom confined in a well of a state-dependent optical lattice that is coupled to free space through an internal-state transition [de Vega et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 260404 (2008)]. Using the Weisskopf-Wigner approach and considering a one-dimensional geometry, we analyze the properties of this system in detail, including the evolution of the lattice…

Dynamics of matter-wave quantum emitters in a structured vacuum
The characteristics of spontaneous emission can be strongly modified by the mode structure of the vacuum. In waveguide quantum-electrodynamics based on photonic crystals, this modification is…
Non-Markovian dynamics of a system of two-level atoms coupled to a structured environment
In this work, taking $N$ noninteracting two-level atoms coupled to an anisotropic three-dimensional photonic crystal into account, we study exact non-Markovian dynamics of the atoms with the photonic…
Spontaneous emission of matter waves from a tunable open quantum system
TLDR
This work demonstrates similar behaviour in a system of artificial emitters, realized using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, which decay by emitting matter-wave, rather than optical, radiation into free space.
Non-Markovian Quantum Optics with Three-Dimensional State-Dependent Optical Lattices
Quantum emitters coupled to structured photonic reservoirs experience unconventional individual and collective dynamics emerging from the interplay between dimensionality and non-trivial photon…
Two-particle states in one-dimensional coupled Bose-Hubbard models
We study dynamically coupled one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard models and solve for the wave functions and energies of two-particle eigenstates. Even though the wave functions do not directly follow the…
Thermalization in the quantum Ising model—approximations, limits, and beyond
We simulate the thermalization of qubits forming a quantum Ising spin chain when coupled to a thermal reservoir or environment. We consider different schemes in the system-reservoir coupling: the…
Many-body entangled dynamics of closed and open systems for quantum simulators
TLDR
The dynamics of closed quantum systems, which has direct connections to the quantum annealing architectures are considered, and how long-range interactions in the quantum Ising model modify the quantum phase diagram is analyzed.
Waveguide-QED with Atomic Matter Waves
We present recent studies of waveguide quantum electrodynamics using ultra-cold atomic matter waves in an optical lattice.
