One new feature added is the effect of an external AC drive. As a result we obtain a tunable diffusion coefficient and it's nonlinear enhancement with increasing drive amplitude. We report an interesting maximum diffusion condition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-05-07T11:12:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cold atoms", "tilted optical lattice", "spontaneous emission", "harmonically driven", "controllable diffusion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2008, "month": "Jun", "volume": 41, "number": 25, "pages": 255001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008JPhA...41y5001S" } } }
