Atoms confined in a three-dimensional dissipative optical lattice oscillate inside potential wells, occasionally hopping to adjacent wells, thereby diffusing in all directions. Illumination by a weak probe beam modulates the lattice,…
We consider spatially localized spiking activity patterns, so-called bumps, in ensembles of bistable spiking oscillators. The bistability consists in the coexistence of self-sustained spiking dynamics and quiescent steady-state regime. We…
We demonstrate the phenomenon of resonant activation in a non-adiabatically driven dissipative optical lattice with broken time-symmetry. The resonant activation results in a resonance as function of the driving frequency in the current of…
