 Room 4.18
 Quantum many-body physics has traditionally been dominated by detailed investigations of equilibrium properties and low-energy excitations.  In the last decade or so, motivated by novel experimental possibilities such as cold atoms, the study of quantum matter far from equilibrium has emerged as an important and exciting new field. I will provide a selection of new questions and phenomena that have appeared in the context of non-equilibrium evolution in isolated systems.  I will detail two examples, namely, (1) the dynamics of composite objects in lattice systems, and (2) Bloch oscillations of many-body systems in a tilted lattice.

 Superconducting qubits are electrical circuits put in quantum states. These qubits have transition frequencies of a few GHz and typical coupling strengths of the order of 10-100 MHz. The spectral composition of the control pulses reflects these frequency scales. They can thus be easily created with standard arbitrary waveform generators. Superconducting qubits have much to benifit from complex pulse shaping methods. In this talk we show how to mitigate leakage out of the computational subspace through optimal control methods [Motzoi et al. PRL 103 110501, Schutjens et al. PRA 88 052330]. We also discuss how to improve gates between superconducting qubits [Egger & Wilhelm Supercond. Sci. Tech. 27 014001]. Finally we discuss how to overcome a limitation of optimal control, namely how to mitigate issues linked to the modeling of system.
18.02.2014 - 9:00Francesco Piazza (TU München) - Umklapp Superradiance from a Collisionless Quantum Degenerate Fermi Gas
 Room 4.18
 The quantum dynamics of the electromagnetic light mode of an optical cavity filled with a coherently driven Fermi gas of ultracold atoms strongly depends on geometry of the Fermi surface. Superradiant light generation and self-organization of the atoms can be achieved at low pumping threshold due to resonant atom-photon Umklapp processes, where the fermions are scattered from one side of the Fermi surface to the other by exchanging photon momenta. The cavity spectrum exhibits sidebands, that, despite strong atom-light coupling and cavity decay, retain narrow linewidth, due to absorptionless transparency windows outside the atomic particle-hole continuum and the suppression of inhomogeneous broadening and thermal fluctuations in the collisionless Fermi gas.
