Effective time-reversal via periodic shaking

Quantum Gases 2013-04-04 v1

Abstract

For a periodically shaken optical lattice, effective time-reversal is investigated numerically. For interacting ultra-cold atoms, the scheme of [J. Phys. B 45, 021002 (2012)] involves a quasi-instantaneous change of both the shaking-amplitude and the sign of the interaction. As the wave function returns to its initial state with high probability, time-reversal is ideal to distinguish pure quantum dynamics from the dynamics described by statistical mixtures.
