Atomic current across an optical lattice

Abstract

We devise a microscopic model for the emergence of a collision-induced, fermionic atomic current across a tilted optical lattice. Tuning the - experimentally controllable - parameters of the microscopic dynamics allows to switch from Ohmic to negative differential conductance.
