1 From Dancing WavePacket to the Frictionless Atom Cooling 11/
2 outline Motivation Quantum friction and the classical picture The frictionless atom cooling
3 Initial problem: v v e ω(t) = 2 ml 2 (t) L(t) =L 0 + vt v e 1 ml v v e : ADIABATIC APPROXIMATION. v v e : SUDDEN APPROXIMATION. v v e :?
4 Simulation Method For a linear expansion or contraction potential, the wavefunction will be M. V. Berry & G. Klein, J. Phy. A 17, 1805(1984), C. H. Chang, personal note. AND ϕ n ( x L(t) ) E n (t) THE INSTANTS WAVEFUNCTION, THE INSTANTS ENERGY.
5 Simulation Result I: adiabatic limit Set v e =1/mL 0, v = v e / E/E L/L 0 E(t) ω(t) ω 0 E 0
6 Simulation Result II: sudden limit v = 10v e 15 E/E L/L 0 E(t) E m( ω 2 t ω 2 0) Ψ0 x 2 Ψ 0.
7 Simulation Result III v =0.5v e 10 8 E/E L/L (E E ad )/E L/L 0
8 Simulation Result III v =0.5v e 10 8 E/E L/L (E E ad )/E 0 Why the wavepacket distribution and energy oscillate 0.1 during the contraction? L/L 0
9 Simulation Result III v =0.5v e ψ 0 = a 0 φ 0 + a 2 φ E/E L/L 0

21 Corresponding effect in classical field C. H. Chang & T. M. Hong, in preparation (2010). The harmonic trap can be constructed by electromagnetic field The electron in the classical field A = 1 B( y, x, 0), 2 Ĥ = ˆp2 x +ˆp 2 y 2m + e2 B 2 8mc 2 (x2 + y 2 )+Ĥz We chose eb c =2mω = 4 L 2 (t), E = 1 c A t, B = A,
22 Why the packet dancing in the time-dependent harmonic trap C. H. Chang & T. M. Hong, in preparation (2010). The oscillation appear as the projecting from the initial state to the eigenvectors. The harmonic trap decide the breathing frequency induced by the quantum friction. The quantum breathing modify the energy from the friction term in the trap.
23 Conclusion I The general solution which include sudden and adiabatic approximation is found. The quantum breathing will modify the energy in the time-dep trap.
