We show that a two-component mixture of a few repulsively interacting ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional trap possesses very different quantum regimes and that the crossover between them can be induced by tuning the interactions in one of…
Near Feshbach resonances, $n|a|^3\gg 1$, systems of Bose and Fermi particles become strongly interacting/dense. In this unitary limit both bosons and fermions have very different properties than in a dilute gas, e.g., the energy per…
We consider the tunneling properties of a single fermionic impurity immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. For strong boson-fermion interaction, we show the existence of a tunnel resonance where a large number of…
We address ourselves to a class of systems composed of two coupled subsystems without any intra-subsystem interaction: itinerant Fermions and localized Bosons on a lattice. Switching on an interaction between the two subsystems leads to…
The jamming transition characterizes athermal systems of particles interacting via finite range repulsive potentials, and occurs on increasing the density when particles cannot avoid making contacts with those of their first coordination…
We unravel the ground state properties and emergent non-equilibrium dynamics of a mixture consisting of a few spin-polarized fermions embedded in a two-dimensional bosonic quantum droplet. For an increasingly attractive droplet-fermion…
We investigate quantum tunneling of two repulsive bosons in a triple-well potential subject to a high-frequency driving field. By means of the multiple-time-scale asymptotic analysis, we evidence a far-resonant strongly-interacting regime…
Rotation and quantum tunneling are fundamental concepts in physics, and their interplay in the ultracold atomic systems is of particular interest. In this theoretical work, we explore how tunneling dynamics in a bosonic Josephson junction…
We examine interactions between atoms continuously and coherently driven between the ground state and a Rydberg state, producing "Rydberg-dressed atoms." Because of the large dipolar coupling between two Rydberg atoms, a small admixture of…
We study energy and particle transport for one-dimensional strongly interacting bosons through a single channel connecting two atomic reservoirs. We show the emergence of particle- and energy- current separation, leading to the violation of…
We demonstrate that Ramsey spectroscopy can be used to observe Rydberg-dressed interactions. In contrast to many prior proposals, our scheme operates comfortably within experimentally measured lifetimes, and accesses a regime where quantum…
We study the dynamical response of a harmonically trapped two-component few-fermion mixture to the external gaussian potential barrier moving across the system. The simultaneous role played by inter-particle interactions, rapidity of the…
We theoretically analyze the dynamics of an atomic double-well system with a single ion trapped in its center. We find that the atomic tunnelling rate between the wells depends both on the spin of the ion via the short-range spin-dependent…
The physics of highly excited Rydberg atoms is governed by blockade or exclusion interactions that hinder the excitation of atoms in the proximity of a previously excited one. This leads to cooperative effects and a relaxation dynamics…
We examine the quantum tunneling process in Bose condensates of two interacting species trapped in a double well configuration. We discover the condition under which particles of different species can tunnel as pairs through the potential…
It is well known that bosons and fermions exhibit opposite behaviors when experiencing interference, in the sense that bosons have a tendency to bunch whereas fermions have a tendency to antibunch. Recently, this complementarity was…
A method is proposed to produce atomic ensembles with sub-Poissonian atom number distributions. The method consists of removing the excess atoms using the interatomic interactions induced by Rydberg dressing. The selective removal of atoms…
