摘要:

本文研究了玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体在振荡镜上共振反弹时产生的离散时间晶体的尺寸。我们发现,时间晶体可以创建的大小在s = 20 - 100的范围内,这样的大的时间晶体更容易实现实验比倍周期(s = 2)的时间晶体,因为它们需要一个更大的下降高度或反射镜上的反弹次数较少。我们还研究了具有现实的软高斯势镜的反弹BEC的影响,如由排斥光片产生的,这被发现使实验更容易实现比硬壁势镜。最后,我们讨论了基于弹跳BEC产生时间晶体的原子系统的选择,并给出了实现大时间晶体的实验方案。这种大的时间晶体为研究时域中广泛的非平凡凝聚态现象提供了一个灵活的平台。

英文摘要:

We investigate the size of discrete time crystals s (ratio of response period to driving period) that can be created for a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) bouncing resonantly on an oscillating mirror. We find that time crystals can be created with sizes in the range s = 20 - 100 and that such big time crystals are easier to realize experimentally than a period-doubling (s = 2) time crystal because they require either a larger drop height or a smaller number of bounces on the mirror. We also investigate the effects of having a realistic soft Gaussian potential mirror for the bouncing BEC, such as that produced by a repulsive light-sheet, which is found to make the experiment easier to implement than a hard-wall potential mirror. Finally, we discuss the choice of atomic system for creating time crystals based on a bouncing BEC and present an experimental protocol for realizing big time crystals. Such big time crystals provide a flexible platform for investigating a broad range of non-trivial condensed matter phenomena in the time domain.
