Requirements on the initial temperature and the number of atoms are determined for a three dimensional square lattice by evaluating the Neel state entropy, taking into account fluctuations around the mean-field solution. We find that these fluctuations place important limitations on adiabatically reaching the Neel state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-02-26T13:13:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37.10.Jk", "03.75.-b", "67.85.-d", "37.10.De" ], "keywords": [ "optical lattice", "fluctuations place important limitations", "dimensional square lattice", "initial temperature", "antiferromagnetic phase" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2008, "month": "Feb", "volume": 77, "number": 2, "pages": "023623" }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 868372, "adsabs": "2008PhRvA..77b3623K" } } }
