Despite its simplicity, this model contains all the basic aspects of classical and quantum ratchet dynamics, and may be used also as a starting point of incorporating atom-atom interactions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-28T13:18:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "transporting cold atoms", "optical lattices", "mechanisms", "quantum ratchet dynamics", "rachet effect" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
