We present a detailed experimental study of a three-dimensional lin$\perp$lin bright optical lattice. Measurements of the atomic temperature and spatial diffusion coefficients are reported for different angles between the lattice beams,…

We present a theoretical and experimental study of the damping process of the atomic velocity in Sisyphus cooling. The relaxation rates of the atomic kinetic temperature are determined for a 3D lin$\perp$lin optical lattice. We find that…

We study the dynamics of the cooling of a gas of caesium atoms in an optical lattice, both experimentally and with 1D full-quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We find that, contrary to the standard interpretation of the Sisyphus model, the…

We present here a detailed study of the behaviour of a three dimensional Brownian motor based on cold atoms in a double optical lattice [P. Sjolund et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 190602 (2006)]. This includes both experiments and numerical…

We simulate collisions between two atoms, which move in an optical lattice under the dipole-dipole interaction. The model describes simultaneously the two basic dynamical processes, namely the Sisyphus cooling of single atoms, and the…

We analyze a method of compressing a cloud of cold atoms by dynamic control of a far off resonance optical lattice. We show that by reducing the lattice spacing either continuously or in discrete steps while cooling the atoms with optical…

Recently, anomalous superdiffusion of ultra cold 87Rb atoms in an optical lattice has been observed along with a fat-tailed, L\'evy type, spatial distribution. The anomalous exponents were found to depend on the depth of the optical…

We demonstrate sub-recoil Sisyphus cooling using the long-lived $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{0}$ clock state in alkaline-earth-like ytterbium. A 1388 nm optical standing wave nearly resonant with the…

We present an experimental study of a four beam optical lattice using the light scattered by the atoms in the lattice. We use both intensity correlations and observations of the transient behavior of the scattering when the lattice is…

We experimentally demonstrate a variation on a Sisyphus cooling technique that was proposed for cooling antihydrogen. In our implementation, atoms are selectively excited to an electronic state whose energy is spatially modulated by an…

Spatial diffusion of particles in periodic potential models has provided a good framework for studying the role of chaos in global properties of classical systems. Here a bidimensional "soft" billiard, classically modeled from an optical…

We study the influence of the lattice topography and the coupling between motion in different directions, for a three-dimensional Brownian motor based on cold atoms in a double optical lattice. Due to controllable relative spatial phases…

We experimentally study anomalous diffusion of ultra-cold atoms in a one dimensional polarization optical lattice. The atomic spatial distribution is recorded at different times and its dynamics and shape are analyzed. We find that the…

We extend the theory for laser cooling in a near-resonant optical lattice to include multiple excited hyperfine states. Simulations are performed treating the external degrees of freedom of the atom, i.e., position and momentum,…

We present a detailed experimental study of the velocity distribution of atoms cooled in an optical lattice. Our results are supported by full-quantum numerical simulations. Even though the Sisyphus effect, the responsible cooling…

We present an in-situ study of an optical lattice with tunneling and single lattice site resolution. This system provides an important step for realizing a quantum computer. The real-space images show the fluctuations of the atom number in…

The aim of this paper is to compare results from lattice-Boltzmann and Brownian dynamics simulations of linear chain molecules. We have systematically varied the parameters that may affect the accuracy of the lattice-Boltzmann simulations,…

We investigate a single particle on a 3-dimensional, cubic lattice with a random on-site potential (3D Anderson model). We concretely address the question whether or not the dynamics of the particle is in full accord with the diffusion…

Diffusion of small particles is omnipresent in a plentiful number of processes occurring in Nature. As such, it is widely studied and exerted in almost all branches of sciences. It constitutes such a broad and often rather complex subject…

Measurements of spatial diffusion of cold atoms in optical lattices have revealed anomalous super-diffusion, which is controlled by the depth of the optical lattice. We use first passage time statistics to derive the diffusion front of the…
