In one dimensional systems, it is possible to create periodic structures in phase space through driving, which is called phase space crystals (Guo et al 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett. 111 205303). This is possible even if for particles trapped in a potential without periodicity. In this paper we discuss ultracold atoms in a driven optical lattice, which is a realization of such a phase space crystals. The corresponding lattice structure in phase space is complex and contains rich physics. A phase space…

An explicit model to realize a phase space crystal and analyze its band structure in the frame of a tight-binding approximation is proposed, which opens new ways to engineer energy band structures, with the added advantage that its properties can be changed in situ by tuning the driving field's parameters.

This work considers the possibility that classical dynamical systems display motion in their lowest-energy state, forming a time analogue of crystalline spatial order, and exhibits models of that kind, including a model with traveling density waves.
