For ultracold and Bose-condensed atoms contained in periodic optical potential wells the quantized nature of their motion is clearly visible. The motion of the atomic wavepacket can also be accurately controlled. For those systems the…
We study the physics of ultracold dipolar bosons in optical lattices. We show that dipole-dipole interactions lead to the appearance of many insulating metastable states. We study the stability and lifetime of these states using a…
We show that atomic dipolar effects are detectable in the system that recently demonstrated two-atom coherent spin dynamics within individual lattice sites of a Mott state. Based on a two-state approximation for the two-atom internal states…
Microwave-dressed polar molecules offer a route to lattice quantum simulators in which the angular form of long-range dipolar interactions, not only their overall strength, can be engineered. We study this setting in a minimal hard-core…

We explore the properties of bosonic atoms loaded into the d bands of an isotropic square optical lattice. Following the recent experimental success reported in [Y. Zhai et al., Phys. Rev. A 87, 063638 (2013)], in which populating d bands…

A grand canonical system of hard-core bosons in an optical lattice is considered. The bosons can occupy randomly $N$ equivalent states at each lattice site. The limit $N\to\infty$ is solved exactly in terms of a saddle-point integration,…
In condensed-matter physics, long-range correlations introduce quantum states of matter that challenge intuition. For instance, supersolids combine symmetry-breaking crystalline structure, i.e. density order, and frictionless superfluid…
We study the ground-state physics of a single-component Haldane model on a hexagonal two-leg ladder geometry with a particular focus on strongly interacting bosonic particles. We concentrate our analysis on the regime of less than one…
We study many-body localization in a one dimensional optical lattice filled with bosons. The interaction between bosons is assumed to be random, which can be realized for atoms close to a microchip exposed to a spatially fluctuating…
Extended Bose Hubbard models with nearest neighbour interaction describe minimally the effect of long range interaction on ultra cold atoms in deep optical lattices. Rotation of such optical lattices subject such neutral cold atoms to the…
One-dimensional polar gases in deep optical lattices present a severely constrained dynamics due to the interplay between dipolar interactions, energy conservation, and finite bandwidth. The appearance of dynamically-bound nearest-neighbor…

Long range dipolar effects in 1D systems either in free or inhomogeneous space are the basis of the state preparation protocol here proposed. Under the presence of an external time-dependent magnetic field, dipole-dipole interactions in the…
