We study the behavior of a Bose-Einstein condensate held in an optical lattice. We first show how a self-trapping transition can be induced in the system by either increasing the number of atoms occupying a lattice site, or by raising the…
Deep optical lattices are considered, in each site of which there are many Bose-condensed atoms. By the resonant modulation of trapping potentials it is possible to transfer a macroscopic portion of atoms to the collective nonlinear states…

In response to a recent manuscript [cond-mat/0609685] on the analysis of interference patterns produced by ultracold atoms released from an optical lattice, we point out that in the presence of a Bose-Einstein condensate the interference…
We consider the Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms in a trap where the density of particles is so high that the low density approach of Gross and Pitaevskii will not be applicable. For this purpose we use the slave boson representation…
A Bose-Einstein condensate is dispersively coupled to a single mode of an ultra-high finesse optical cavity. The system is governed by strong interactions between the atomic motion and the light field even at the level of single quanta.…
We have transported gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates over distances up to 44 cm. This was accomplished by trapping the condensate in the focus of an infrared laser and translating the location of the laser focus with controlled…
Ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices realize simple, fundamental models in condensed matter physics. Our 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate is confined in a harmonic trapping potential to which we add an optical lattice potential. Here we…
In this article, we describe an experimental system for generating Bose-Einstein condensates and controlling the shape and motion of the condensate by using miniaturised magnetic potentials. In particular, we describe the magnetic trap…
Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms, prepared in an optical dipole trap, were distilled into a second empty dipole trap adjacent to the first one. The distillation was driven by thermal atoms spilling over the potential barrier…
A method of entanglement production is suggested, based on the resonant generation of topological modes in systems with Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in optical or magnetic lattices. The method makes it possible to regulate the strength…
The Bose-Einstein condensates recently created in trapped atomic gases are mesoscopic systems, in two senses: (a) Their size fall between macroscopic and microscopic systems; (b) They have a quantum phase that can be manipulated in…
Quantum gases of rare-earth elements are of interest due to the large magnetic moment of many of those elements, leading to strong dipole-dipole interactions, as well as an often nonvanishing orbital angular momentum in the electronic…
We study the effect of different heating rates of a dilute Bose gas confined in a quasi-1D finite, leaky box. An optical kicked-rotor is used to transfer energy to the atoms while two repulsive optical beams are used to confine the atoms.…
We show that Bose-Einstein condensate can be created in quasi-one-dimensional systems in a purely geometrical way, namely by bending or other suitable deformation of a tube.

Quantum droplets may form out of a gaseous Bose-Einstein condensate, stabilized by quantum fluctuations beyond mean field. We show that multiple singly-quantized vortices may form in these droplets at moderate angular momenta in two…
