Mean-field dynamics of strongly interacting bosons described by hard core bosons with nearest-neighbor attraction has been shown to support two species of solitons: one of Gross-Pitaevskii (GP-type) where the condensate fraction remains dark and a novel non-Gross-Pitaevskii-type (non-GP-type) characterized by brightening of the condensate fraction. Here we study the effects of quantum fluctuations on these solitons using the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method, which takes into account the effect of strong correlations. We use local observables as the density, condensate density and correlation functions as well as the entanglement entropy to characterize the stability of the initial states. We find both species of solitons to be stable under quantum evolution for a finite duration, their tolerance to quantum fluctuations being enhanced as the width of the soliton increases. We describe possible experimental realizations in atomic Bose Einstein Condensates, polarized degenerate Fermi gases, and in systems of polar molecules on optical lattices.

We produce a trimerized kagome lattice for ultracold atoms using an optical superlattice formed by overlaying triangular lattices generated with two colors of light at a 2:1 wavelength ratio. Adjusting the depth of each lattice tunes the strong intra-trimer (J) and weak inter-trimer (J) tunneling energies, and also the on-site interaction energy U. Two different trimerization patterns are distinguished using matter-wave diffraction. We characterize the coherence of a strongly interacting Bose gas in this lattice, observing persistent nearest-neighbor spatial coherence in the large U/J limit, and that such coherence displays asymmetry between the strongly and the weakly coupled bonds.
We propose to use fermionic atoms with degenerate ground and excited internal levels ($F_grightarrow F_e$), loaded into the motional ground state of an optical lattice with two atoms per lattice site, to realize dark states with no radiative decay. The physical mechanism behind the dark states is an interplay of Pauli blocking and multilevel dipolar interactions. The dark states are independent of lattice geometry, can support an extensive number of excitations and can be coherently prepared using a Raman scheme taking advantage of the quantum Zeno effect. These attributes make them appealing for atomic clocks, quantum memories, and quantum information on decoherence free subspaces.
We study the dynamics of ultracold atoms in tailored bichromatic optical lattices. By tuning the lattice parameters, one can readily engineer the band structure and realize a Dirac point, i.e. a true crossing of two Bloch bands. The dynamics in the vicinity of such a crossing is described by the one-dimensional Dirac equation, which is rigorously shown beyond the tight-binding approximation. Within this framework we analyze the effects of an external potential and demonstrate numerically that it is possible to demonstrate Klein tunneling with current experimental setups.
We demonstrate that the transport characteristics of deep optical lattices with one or multiple off-resonant external energy offsets can be greatly-enhanced by modulating the lattice depth in an exotic way. We derive effective stationary models for our proposed modulation schemes in the strongly interacting limit, where only one particle can occupy any given site. Afterwards we discuss the modifications necessary to recover transport when more than one particle may occupy the lattice sites. For the specific five-site lattices discussed, we numerically predict transport gains for ranging from $4.7times 10^6$ to $9.8times 10^{8}$.
We study the scattering of a matter-wave from an interacting system of bosons in an optical lattice, focusing on the strong-interaction regime. Analytical expressions for the many-body scattering cross section are derived from a strong-coupling expansion and a site-decoupling mean-field approximation, and compared to numerically obtained exact results. In the thermodynamic limit, we find a non-vanishing inelastic cross section throughout the Mott insulating regime, which decays quadratically as a function of the boson-boson interaction.
