In our experiment the optical potential is spatially symmetric and the time-symmetry of the system is broken by applying appropriate zero-mean ac forces. We identify a regime of rectification of forces and a regime of rectification of fluctuations, the latter corresponding to the realization of a Brownian motor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-21T17:01:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optical lattice", "rectifying fluctuations", "brownian motor", "applying appropriate zero-mean ac forces", "cold atoms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
