Full textEn este trabajo de tesis se reporta el diseño y la construcción de uno de los experimentos pioneros en España que permite realizar simulaciones cuánticas usando átomos ultra fríos. En este experimento se enfrían hasta alcanzar la degeneración cuántica los tres diferentes isotopos de potasio los cuales permiten, de manera particular y original, el estudio de mezclas cuánticas degeneradas de tipo Bose-Bose o Bose-Fermi. El funcionamiento del experimento es validado por medio de la producción de condensados de Bose-Einstein de 41K y 39K. Además, se reporta la condensación de la mezcla degenerada 41K - 39K, la cual no había sido previamente reportada en la literatura. Estos resultados son los primeros de su tipo en España y por lo tanto abren un amplio panorama en el estudio de fenómenos cuánticos en el país. La mezcla cuántica reportada en esta tesis permite acceder a sistemas cuánticos novedosos en el campo de átomos fríos. El control de las interacciones atómicas es una herramienta ampliamente usada en el campo, por lo cual se han caracterizado las propiedades de dispersión en esta nueva mezcla, así como en diferentes mezclas de espín entre los isotopos 41K y 39K. El resultado más importante de esta tesis reside en la creación de un nuevo estado de la materia: una gota liquida cuántica ultra-diluida. Esta gota cuántica se compone de una mezcla de dos estados diferentes de espín de 39K. Este líquido se encuentra ligado por sí mismo debido a la compensación de las fuerzas atractivas de campo con el carácter repulsivo de efectos cuánticos que van más allá de la aproximación de campo medio. Este sistema sigue la idea original de D. Petrov, esta propone la formación de líquidos cuánticos usando mezclas de condensados de Bose-Einstein. En la primera serie de experimentos, hemos observado la formación de gotas cuánticas en un régimen donde una mezcla de Bose debería de colapsar de acuerdo con teorías de campo medio. Se ha medido su tamaño y ultra-baja densidad por medio de imágenes in situ. De esta manera confirma cómo este líquido permanece ligado por si mismo en la ausencia de confinamiento externo. Hemos demostrado que la existencia de estas gotas cuánticas se debe a una manifestación sorprendente de las fluctuaciones cuánticas. Finalmente hemos observado cómo debido a la presencia de la presión cuántica, debajo de un numero critico de átomos el sistema se disocia en gas dando lugar a una transición cuántica liquido-gas. Esta transición se ha medido experimentalmente como función de las interacciones atómicas entre los átomos. Estas mediciones traen consigo una pregunta intrigante: ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre nuestras gotas cuánticas y los ya conocidos solitones de materia? En una segunda serie de experimentos, hemos dado respuesta a esta interrogante al estudiar las propiedades de una mezcla de Bose confinada en una guía óptica. En este tipo de geometría ambos estados pueden existir. En analogía a sistemas ópticos no-lineales, solitones son sistemas estabilizados por efectos de dispersión, mientras las gotas cuánticas corresponden a solitones de más alta dimensión estabilizadas por efectos no lineales de alto orden. Hemos encontrado que, dependiendo del número de átomos, fuerza de interacción y confinamiento, solitones y gotas cuánticas son dos estados cuánticos que pueden estar conectados, permanecer como dos estados distintos, o coexistir en una región de bi-estabilidad. Se ha medido su composición de espín, densidad del sistema y encontrado experimentalmente la frontera que separa ambos sistemas. En conclusión, los experimentos mostrados en esta tesis demuestran la existencia de un nuevo liquido cuántico ultra-diluido estabilizado únicamente por interacciones de contacto. Su existencia es puramente debida a las fluctuaciones cuánticas presentes en el sistema. Este sistema provee una plataforma ideal para el estudio y la comprensión de teorías cuánticas más complejas las cuales van más allá de la aproximación de campo medio.

Full textThe study of the thermodynamic properties of a multi-component quantum Coulomb system is of fundamental theoretical interest and has, beyond that, a wide range of applications. The Hydrogen-Helium mixture can be found in the interstellar nebulae and giant planets, however the most prominent example is the Sun. Here the interaction between the electrons and the nuclei is almost purely electrostatic.In this work we study the equation of state of the Hydrogen-Helium mixture starting from first principles, meaning the fundamental Coulomb interaction of its constituting particles. In this context we develop numerical methods to study the few-particle clusters appearing in the theory by using the path integral language. To capture the effects of the long-range Coulomb interaction between the fundamental particles, we construct a new version of Mayer-diagrammatic, which is appropriate for our purposes. In a first step, we ameliorate the scaled-low-temperature (SLT) equation of state, valid in the limit of low density and low temperature, by taking three-body terms into account and we compare the predictions to the well-established OPAL equation of state. Higher densities are accessed by direct inversion of the density equations and by the use of cluster functions that include screening effects. These cluster functions put the influence of screening on the ionization, unto now treated ad-hoc, on a theoretically well-grounded basis. We also inspect other equilibrium quantities such as the speed of sound and the inner energy. In the last part we calculate the equation of state of the Hydrogen-Helium mixture including the charged He+ ions in the screening process. Our work gives insights in the physical content of previous phenomenological descriptions and helps to better determine their range of validity. The equation of state derived in this thesis is expected to be very precise as well as reliable for conditions found in the Sun

Full textUnderstanding the effect of interactions in quantum many-body systems presents some of the most compelling challenges in modern physics. Ultracold atoms have emerged as a versatile platform to engineer and investigate these strongly correlated systems. In this thesis, we study the properties of a mixture of Bose and Fermi superfluids with tunable interactions produced using ultracold vapors of ⁷Li and ⁶Li. We first study the hydrodynamic properties of the mixture by creating a counterflow between the superfluids. The relative motion only exhibit dissipation above a critical velocity that we measure in the BEC-BCS crossover. A numerical simulation of counterflowing condensates allows for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play in the dynamics. In particular, this numerical study provides additional evidence that the onset of friction in our experiment is due to the simultaneous generation of elementary excitations in both superfluids. Finally, we consider the inelastic losses that occur via three-body recombination in our cold gases. This few-body process is intimately related to short-distance correlations and is thereby connected to the universal properties of the many-body system. This manifests as the apparition of an unusual dependence on density or temperature in the loss rate when increasing the interactions. We demonstrate this effect in two examples where interactions are resonant: the case of a dilute unitary Bose gas and the one of impurities weakly coupled to a unitary Fermi gas. More generally, our work shows that inelastic losses can be used to probe quantum correlations in a many-body system

Full textThe aim of this thesis work is the study, by means of Deep Inelastic Neutron Scatter- ing, of the microscopic dynamics of two different helium systems at low temperature (T=2K): an isotopic helium mixture (in the fluid phase and near the melting point) and a system of 4He in nanometric confinement. The interest in the helium, from the first decades of 1900, is due to its unique features: it is the only element in nature that doesn't have a solid phase at absolute zero. Thus, at low temperatures it presents quantum effects, usually negligible in other physical systems that in this condition crystallise. The helium is thus the unique test-bed for theoretical quantum models, in particular for studying the interacting boson (4He) and fermion (3He) systems. Moreover, if in 4He are added some atoms of 3He it is possible to derive important information about the interplay of these two statistics. In this context, several experiments on liquid and solid helium have been performed. Measurements on pure 3He and 4He have shown that the mean kinetic energy of pure liquids depends on the density of the system and increases decreasing the molar volume. On the other hand, the microscopic dynamics of helium mixtures reveals quite a different picture with respect to pure 3He and 4He: the mean kinetic energy of the light isotope, above a molar volume of 25cm3/mole, shows a remarkable independence from molar volume and concentration. This behaviour could be explained by quantum effects, such as exchange effects. The first part of the present work deals with the experiments performed to investigate the dynamics of the mixtures from 22cm3/mole to 25cm3/mole and shows how, at these low molar volumes, the mean kinetic energy of 3He starts again to be strongly dependent on the molar volume, increasing until reaching, at 22.7cm3/mole, the corresponding value of pure helium. Recent measurements have been also performed to investigate the influence of confinement on helium. Experiments on 4He, adsorbed in flat surface or slit geometry porous substrates, have shown a large increase in helium mean kinetic energy. This has been attributed to the strong localisation effects induced by the helium-substrate interaction potential, which mainly influence the firsts two or three adsorbed layers. Such effects can be also investigated by confining 4He atoms in cylindrical pore geometries and by studying their dynamics as function of pore size. Aim of the second part of the thesis has been the determination of the single particle mean kinetic energy of 4He adsorbed in cylindrical silica nanopores (Xerogel) having two different pore diameters, namely, 24 ºAand 160 ºA, and to evaluate the dependence of single- particle dynamics on pore sizes, layer coverage, and confining system geometry. The measurements have been performed at a temperature of T=2.5K, saturated vapour pressure, and 95% volume filling. Significant changes in the values of the single particle mean kinetic energy are found: they are remarkably higher than the value of normal liquid 4He at the same conditions. The results are interpreted in terms of a model in which 4He atoms are arranged in concentric annuli along the cylindrical pore axis, growing layer-by-layer and with the mean kinetic energy mainly dependent on the ratio between the atomic diameter and the pore diameter.

Full textA temperaturas suficientemente bajas, un fluido compuesto por partículas bosónicas puede experimentar una transición de fase, dando lugar a un condensado de Bose-Einstein (CBE). El CBE es uno de los conceptos fundamentales en física cuántica de muchos cuerpos, suponiendo un ejemplo paradigmático de onda colectiva de materia. La pecular mezcla de comportamientos tipo fluido y tipo partícula que exhibe este estado da lugar a rasgos únicos como la cuantización de vórtices, pero también a una interacción exótica con otros tipos de materia, así como con su entorno. El objetivo de mi tesis es una investigación teórica más extensa de estas propiedades, a través de dos líneas diferentes. En la primera parte he estudiado el problema fundamental del polarón para el caso de un baño bosónico: un CBE interactuando con una única impureza distinguible, una partícula cuántica de la misma escala que las partículas que constituyen el condensado, la cual se puede describir a menudo como una cuasipartícula 'vestida' llamada polarón. El objetivo de esta tesis tiene lugar en el contexto de un CBE diluido formado vapores de átomos ultrafríos, donde, desde un punto de vista histórico, el CBE fue observado experimentalmente por primera vez, y donde las interacciones atómicas subyacentes pueden ser controladas hasta un grado sin precedentes a través de resonancias de Feshbach. Un caso particularmente interesante es el de interacciones fuertes entre la impureza y los bosones, el régimen del límite unitario. Tales sistemas de impurezas se han observado experimentalmente en los últimos años. Sin embargo, debido a la complejidad teórica y a la riqueza del estado condensado unido a las limitaciones experimentales, la naturaleza del sistema compuesto no se entiende por completo para interacciones fuertes. En esta tesis presento dos modelos teóricos que predicen de forma cualitativa nuevos fenómenos. En el primero, extiendo un esquema usado en trabajos previos al mío, incluyendo el efecto de una temperatura finita por debajo del punto de transición para tener en cuenta la naturaleza bifluida de los bosones a tales temperaturas intermedias. Este esquema predice una separación en dos de una única rama de cuasipartículas al aumentar de la temperatura, así como una dependencia general fuerte de la temperatura sobre las propiedades de las cuasipartículas. En el segundo trabajo, desarrollo un modelo variacional diseñado para describir grandes revestimientos de la impureza. Esta estimación predice como para repulsiones intrabosónicas suficientemente débiles la impureza puede ligar una nube macroscópica pero coherente y diluida de bosones de tamaños comparables a la longitud de coherencia del condensado. En la segunda parte de mi tesis, presento trabajos que se enfocan en la interacción entre un condensado y la geometría del recipiente que lo contiene. Algunos de los rasgos conocidos de un condensado son su superfluidez y la cuantización de la vorticidad. Considerando un superfluido contenido en una superficie bidimensional, estudio la dinámica de vórtices puntuales en superficies curvas en el contexto de la teoría de flujo de potencial, con un enfoque en geometrías no simplemente conexas. En un trabajo presentado en esta parte de la tesis acerca de geometrías cilíndricas, derivo el potencial generador de un único vórtice puntual, prediciendo como la dinámica se ve modificada por la cuantización del flujo a lo largo de la circumferencia del cilindro. En particular, este está forzado a moverse siempre a través de su eje longitudinal, aportando un poderoso marcador de superfluidez. En otro trabajo acerca de superficies con forma de toro, así como de superficies relacionadas más generales, derivo el potencial generador tanto de un único como de múltiples pares vórtices - antivórtices y predigo un cambio significativo de dinámicas locales debido a la cuantización macroscópica del flujo y a la curvatura no trivial de la superficie de incrustación.

This thesis describes the construction of a new apparatus for ultracold quantum gases as well as the scientific results this machine has produced so far. This new apparatus is capable of simultaneously cooling and trapping lithium, sodium, and potassium. It therefore provides a platform to study a large variety of quantum mixtures. Three main experimental results are presented. Firstly, the direct cooling of "K to Bose-Einstein condensation is presented. Then the 41K atoms provide the coolant for 6Li and 40K, achieving a triply degenerate gas of 6Li -40K -41K. In particular, a broad interspecies Feshbach resonance between 40K -41K is observed, opening a new pathway to study a strongly interacting isotopic Bose-Fermi mixture of 40K -41K. Secondly, a new Bose-Fermi mixture of 23Na -40K is introduced. We show that 23Na is a very efficient coolant for 40K by sympathetically cooling 40K to quantum degeneracy with the help of a 23Na condensate. Moreover, over thirty interspecies Feshbach resonances are identified, paving the way to study strongly interacting Bose- Fermi problems, in particular the Bose polaron problem. Thirdly, we report on the first formation of ultracold fermionic Feshbach molecules of 23Na40K by radio-frequency association. The lifetime of the nearly degenerate molecular gas exceeds 100 ms in the vicinity of the Feshbach resonance. The NaK molecule features chemical stability in its ground state in contrast to the case of the KRb molecule. Therefore, our work opens up the prospect of creating chemically stable, fermionic ground state molecules of 23Na40K where strong, long-range dipolar interactions will set the dominant energy scale. Finally, the thesis concludes with an outlook on future topics in polaron physics and quantum dipolar gases, which can be studied using the new apparatus.

Full textHemos investigado las propiedades de las mezclas de condensados de Bose-Einstein en el límite de temperatura cero. Para ello hemos usado métodos cuánticos de Monte Carlo (QMC) y la teoría del funcional de la densidad (DFT) con el objetivo de comprender la física más allá de la teoría del campo medio en las mezclas bosónicas. En particular, se estudiaron las gotas de líquido cuántico originadas con interacciones atractivas entre especies distinats y repulsivas entre especies iguales. Observamos contribuciones significativas más allá de la teoría de Lee Huang Yang (LHY) que afectan a la energía, la densidad de saturación y la tensión superficial. Calculamos el número crítico de átomos en gotitas en el espacio libre para un número total de átomos N entre N = 30 y N = 2000. Obtuvimos resultados de la tensión superficial para tres valores de las interacciones atractivas entre especies. Para un sistema homogéneo, se realizaron cálculos extensos de las ecuaciones de estado y reportamos la influencia de los efectos de rango finito en la teoría, más allá de Bogoliubov. En sistemas que interactúan con un rango efectivo pequeño (grande), observamos contribuciones repulsivas (atractivas) a la energia más allá de LHY. Para las gotitas en una mezcla de 39K átomos, que se observaron experimentalmente por primera vez en ICFO, se realizaron los cálculos de ecuaciones de estado. Combinando funciones obtenidas de QMC con DFT, explicamos la discrepancia en la estimación del número crítico de átomos, entre la teoría de campo medio y los resultados experimentales, mediante la inclusión adecuada del rango efectivo en los modelos de interacción entre partículas. Se investigó la influencia de los efectos de rango finito en los modos monopolar y cuadrupolar en gotas cuánticas de 39K. Predijimos una desviación significativa en las frecuencias de excitación al entrar en un régimen más correlacionado. Finalmente, se estudió el diagrama de fase de mezclas bosóncas repulsivas en una trampa armónica esférica utilizando cálculos de Quantum Monte Carlo. Se obtuvieron los perfiles de densidad y se probó la existencia de tres fases: separación de condensados en dos lóbulos, una fase completamente mezclada y una fase separada con capas esféricas. Una comparación con las soluciones de Gross-Pitaevskii mostró una gran desviación en el régimen de gran desequilibrio de masas e interacciones fuertes. Finalmente, mostramos la presencia de universalidad en los perfiles de densidad, con respecto a la longitud de dispersión en onda S, y encontramos evidencia numérica del factor de escala de Gross-Pitaevskii más allá del régimen de aplicabilidad de las propias ecuaciones de Gross-Pitaevskii.
Ultrahladne atomske mješavine istražene ab-initio kvantnom Monte Carlo metodom. Svojstva smjesa Bose-Einsteinovih kondenzata pri T = 0 istražena su korištenjem metoda kvantnog Monte Carla (QMC) i teorije funkcionala gustoće (DFT) s ciljem proučavanja fizike izvan teorije srednjeg polja u bozonskim mješavinama. Proučili smo kvantne kapljice s jednakim i odbojnim interakcijama između atoma istovrsne komponente te privlačnim interakcijama atoma različitih komponenti u interakciji i opazili smo značajne doprinose povrh Lee Huang Yang (LHY) teorije koji utječu na energiju, saturacijsku gustoću i površinsku napetost. Odredili smo kritični broj atoma za kapljice u slobodnom prostoru za broj atoma u kapljici N između N = 30 i N = 2000. Izračunali smo površinsku napetost za tri vrijednosti privlačnih međuatomskih interakcija. Izvršili smo opsežne proračune jednadžbi stanja iznimno rijetke tekućine bozonske mješavine i uočili utjecaj efekata konačnog dosega koji nije predviđen Bogoliubovljevom teorijom. U sustavima koji interagiraju s malim (velikim) efektivnim dosegom, opaženi su odbojni (privlačni) doprinosi koje ne predviđa LHY teorija. Izračunali smo jednadžbe stanja za kapljice bozonskih mješavina koje su po prvi put eksperimentalno uočene u smjesi 39K atoma. Kombinirajući funkcionale gustoće izgrađene pomoću kvantnog Monte Carla s DFT-om, neslaganje u procjeni kritičnog broja atoma između teorije srednjeg polja i eksperimentalnih rezultata je objašnjeno preko pravilnog uključivanja efektivnog dosega u modele međudjelovanja čestica. Istražen je utjecaj efektivnog dosega na pobuđenja kapljice 39K, i to na mod disanja i kvadrupolni mod. Dobiveni rezultati prikazuju značajno odstupanje frekvencija pobude pri ulasku u korelirani režim. Detaljno smo proučili fazni dijagram odbojnih Bose-Bose mješavina u sfernoj harmonijskoj zamci koristeći kvantne Monte Carlo račune. Dobiveni su profili gustoće koji pokazuju pojavu tri faze: separacija kondenzata u dvije nakupine, potpuno miješanje i separacije u obliku ljuske. Usporedba s riješenjima Gross-Pitaevskii jednadžbi pokazuje veliko odstupanje u režimu velike masene neravnoteže i jakih interakcija. Pokazali smo univerzalnost profila gustoće s obzirom na s-valnu duljinu raspršenja te postojanje Gross-Pitaevskii skaliranja prisutnog izvan dosega primjenjivosti Gross-Pitaevskii jednadžbi.

Full textZuerst wurde der Formalismus der Quantenfeldtheorie auf homogene, atomare Boson-Fermion Gemische erweitert, um grundlegende Größen wie Quasiteilchenspektren, die Grundzustandsenergie und daraus abgeleitete Größen über die Molekularfeldtheorie hinaus zu berechnen.
Unter Zuhilfenahme der dieser Resultate System wurde ein Boson-Fermion Gemisch in einem Fallenpotential im Rahmen der Dichtefunktionaltheorie beschrieben. Daraus konnten die Dichteprofile ermittelt werden und es ließen sich drei Bereiche im Phasendiagramm identifizieren:
(i) ein Bereich eines stabilen Gemisches,
(ii) ein Bereich, in dem die Spezies entmischt sind und
(iii) ein Bereich, in dem das System kollabiert.
Im letzten dieser drei Fällen waren Austausch--Korrelationseffekte signifikant. Weiterhin wurde die Änderung der kritischen Temperatur der Bose-Einstein-Kondensation aufgrund der Boson-Fermion-Wechselwirkung berechnet. Verursacht wird dieser Effekt von Dichtumverteilungen aufgrund der Wechselwirkung.
Dann wurden Boson-Fermion Gemische in optischen Gittern betrachtet. Ein Stabilitätskriterium gegen Phasenentmischung wurde gefunden und es ließen sich Bedingungen für einen supraflüssig zu Mott-isolations Phasenübergang angeben. Diese wurden sowohl mittels einer Molekularfeldrechnung als auch numerisch im Rahmen eines Gutzwilleransatzes gefunden. Es wurden weiterhin neuartige frustrierte Grundzustände im Fall von sehr großen Gitterstärken gefunden.
The theory of atomic Boson-Fermion mixtures in the dilute limit beyond mean-field is considered in this thesis.
Extending the formalism of quantum field theory we derived expressions for the quasi-particle excitation spectra, the ground state energy, and related quantities for a homogenous system to first order in the dilute gas parameter.
In the framework of density functional theory we could carry over the previous results to inhomogeneous systems. We then determined to density distributions for various parameter values and identified three different phase regions:
(i) a stable mixed regime,
(ii) a phase separated regime, and
(iii) a collapsed regime.
We found a significant contribution of exchange-correlation effects in the latter case. Next, we determined the shift of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature caused by Boson-Fermion interactions in a harmonic trap due to redistribution of the density profiles.
We then considered Boson-Fermion mixtures in optical lattices. We calculated the criterion for stability against phase separation, identified the Mott-insulating and superfluid regimes both, analytically within a mean-field calculation, and numerically by virtue of a Gutzwiller Ansatz. We also found new frustrated ground states in the limit of very strong lattices.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical approach that allows for the description of trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures with a tunable interspecies interaction in the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance magnetic field.The many-body physics of the system is treated at equilibrium using the well-established mean-field and local density approximations. This reduces the physics locally to that of a homogeneous system. We observe a rich local phase structure exhibiting both first and second order phase transitions between the normal and BEC phases. We also consider the global properties of the mixture at a fixed number of particles and investigate how the density profiles and the populations of the various particle species depend on the detuning and trap profile.

This thesis describes the construction of a versatile apparatus to study ultracold quantum mixtures capable of simultaneously cooling fermionic ⁶Li and ⁴⁰K, as well as the bosonic ⁴¹K. The main features of the experimental setup are presented, in particular the addition of a new species ²³Na, which has enabled the study of the Bose-Fermi mixture ²³Na-⁴⁰K. Three main experimental benchmarks are outlined: first, the production of a Bose-Einstein Condensate of ⁴¹K is discussed and an evaluation of its properties as a coolant are analysed. Secondly, the creation of a triply degenerate Bose-Fermi-Fermi gas of ⁴¹K-⁴⁰K-⁶Li is presented. Simultaneous observation of Pauli Pressure and Bose Condensation in the triply degenerate gas is reported. In addition, interspecies Feshbach resonances between ⁴¹K-⁴⁰K and ⁶Li-⁴¹K are observed, opening the way to the study of a strongly interacting isotopic Bose-Fermi mixture of ⁴¹K-⁴⁰K, which have similar mass. Thirdly, the creation of a quantum degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture of ²³Na-⁴⁰K is discussed and over thirty Feshbach resonances are identified. Finally, a degenerate ²³Na-⁴⁰K Bose-Fermi mixture opens the way to creating fermionic NaK ground state molecules, which are known to be chemically stable and have a larger permanent electric dipole than KRb. This thesis concludes with a review of the molecular properties of NaK and explores the possibilities of bringing Feshbach molecules of NaK into the singlet rovibrational ground state.

Full textUltracold atoms are unique tools to probe the physics of quantum matter. Indeed, the high degree of tunability of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases makes them ideal systems for quantum simulation and for exploring macroscopic manifestations of quantum effects, such as superfluidity. In this work, we have realized the first Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture, with ultracold gases of 6Li and 7Li. The properties of the mixture are investigated by initiating a Bose-Fermi counterflow through their dipole modes. The superfluid critical velocity is measured in the BEC-BCS crossover, and is found close to the sound velocity of the Fermi gas near unitarity. We compare our findings to recent theoretical predictions. Raising the temperature of the mixture, we observe an unexpected synchronization of the motion of the two clouds, interpreted with a Zeno-like model induced by dissipation. Finally, this Bose-Fermi mixture offers the unique possibility to create a homogeneoustrap for the Fermi gas. By a fine tuning of the interactions, we propose to use the Bose-Fermi repulsion to compensate the curvature of the harmonic trap for fermions. For a spin-polarized Fermi gas in such a trap, we theoretically predict the existence of a superfluid with a shell structure and we provide first experimental evidence for this topologically new superfluid

Full textManifestations of Quantum Physics at the thermodynamical level are found in a broadrange of physical systems. A famous example is superfluidity, discovered at the beginningof the 20th century and found in many different situations, from liquid helium to neutronstars. Dilute ultracold gases offer a unique versatility to engineer quantum many-bodysystems, which can be directly compared with theory thanks to the controllability of theirenvironment. In this thesis we present several experimental investigations led on ultracoldlithium gases. Lithium provides the possibility to study ensembles of bosons andfermions, with controllable interactions between the constituents. We present experimentaltechniques for preparation and studies of degenerate gases of lithium, with prospects forimprovement of the existing methods. We first report on an investigation of three-bodyrecombination of bosons under a resonant two-body interaction. This study, quantitativelycompared with theory constitutes a benchmark for further studies of the unitary Bose gas.Finally, we present the first experimental realization of a mixture of a Bose superfluid witha Fermi superfluid. We demon- strate that both components are in the superfluid regime,and that the counter-flow motion between them possesses the characteristics of superfluidflow, with the absence of viscosity below a critical velocity, and an onset of friction above.Using collective oscillations of the mixture, we measure the coupling between the twosuperfluids in close agreement with a theoretical model

Full textIn this thesis we present a detailed investigation of the role played by quantum and thermal fluctuations in ultracold Bose gases. We begin with a review of several important concepts and analytical tools within a functional integration formalism. We first focus on the so-called zero-range approximation for the interaction potential, by recovering the Bogoliubov results and the Landau two-fluid model from a field-theory perspective. In deriving the beyond-mean-field equation of state, we are going to show that a crucial point concerns the proper regularization of the divergent zero-point energy. Among the alternative approaches to investigate finite-temperatures Bose gases, we apply the kinetic theory to explain some recent results on the sound propagation in two-dimensional Bose gases. We then move to consider the eventual corrections to the thermodynamics of Bose gases due to the finite-range character of the interaction potential. The coupling constants of the finite-range model are related to measurable scattering parameters through an effective-field-theory approach. The role of finite-range corrections is considered not only in three spatial dimensions but also in systems with lower dimensionalities. Our analytical predictions are in good agreement with available Monte Carlo simulations and consistent with other theoretical frames, as the Lieb-Lininger theory for one-dimensional systems. In the third chapter, the relevance of fluctuations is investigated from an alternative point of view. Indeed, for a single-component Bose gas we have actually considered their effect as deviations of thermodynamic quantities from the mean-field and zero-range picture. In the case of collapsing Bose mixtures, we are going to show that zero-temperature fluctuations play a crucial stabilizing role against the collapse instability. Because of this peculiar mechanism, ultracold mixtures can display finite-density configurations also in free space. Inspired by recent experiments, we characterize this novel self-bound state by comparison with bright solitons, following a variational scheme. We also consider the case of binary mixtures where a coherent internal coupling is turned on. In the last chapter, we move to deal with dipolar condensates. In particular, we are interested in beyond-mean-field effects leading to the formation of inhomogeneous ground states. In order to provide a reliable answer to the open issue of superfluid properties of these structures, we present our recent numerical investigation on the phase diagram of dipolar bosons.

Full textAtmospheric pressure plasmas have numerous potential applications. These applications include for instance biomedicine, material processing, environmental biodecontamination and plasma-assisted combustion. The versatility of plasma discharges results from their ability to produce high quantities of active species without increasing the temperature of the gas appreciably. Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed discharges (NRP) have received great attention owing to their capacity to generate high electron densities, which lead to the creation of a high density of active species such as atomic oxygen. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) showed that excited nitric oxide (NO) was released by NRP discharges in air or in air/fuel mixtures.Although NRP discharges have already been the object of several investigations, the kinetic mechanisms of NO production by NRP discharges at atmospheric pressure remain somewhat unclear. This is one of the motivations for the investigations conducted in this thesis. In addition, NRP discharges were found to produce large amounts of atomic oxygen, which is of great interest for applications such as plasma-assisted combustion. It was shown in particular that thanks to this high production of active species, NRP discharges can effectively stabilize lean flames at atmospheric pressure. However, the production of NO in NRP discharges and in plasma-stabilized flames remains to be investigated. This is the second purpose of this thesis.Absolute and in-situ NO density measurements in atmospheric pressure plasma or/and flame environments are very challenging. Fluorescence-based techniques such as Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) require complex calibration methods. These techniques also require the knowledge of the quenching rates of the excited states (particularly at atmospheric pressure), which strongly depend on the temperature, density and nature of the species and can be very different for plasma or/and flame environments. Other techniques, such as chemiluminescence probe sampling also have quenching and calibration issues, and ex-situ UV and IR absorption-based gas analyzers can lead to errors, in particular for radicals.In this study, we developed Quantum Cascade Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (QCLAS) for in-situ nitric oxide absolute density measurements in open-air and in combustion environments. This technique overcomes the difficulties of the previous ones by using high-resolution (10-3 cm-1) rotational-vibrational absorption spectroscopy. This technique presents the advantages of high spectral selectivity, no calibration requirement, and high sensitivity. Two experimental setups were developed to measure NO densities and temperature, (1) within a NRP discharge in air, with 300-µm spatial resolution, and (2) downstream of NRP discharges in air and in plasma-assisted methane/air flames, using multi pass cell.

Full textThis thesis presents novel techniques for the experimental study of ultracold quantum gases of fermionic lithium and potassium atoms. In the first part of this thesis, we describe the design and characterization of the new components of our experimental apparatus capable of trapping and cooling simultaneously $^6$Li and $^{40}$K atoms to ultracold temperatures. We report on a novel sub-Doppler cooling mechanism, operating on the D$_1$ line transition of alkali atoms, for laser cooling of lithium and potassium. The measured phase space densities after this molasses phase are on the order of $10^{-4}$ for both $^6$Li and $^{40}$K. We present the forced evaporative cooling of $^{40}$K atoms, starting in an optically plugged magnetic quadrupole trap and continuing in an optical dipole trap. In this context, we report on the production of a quantum degenerate Fermi gas of $1.5\times10^5$ atoms $^{40}$K in a crossed dipole trap with $T/T_{_F} = 0.17$, paving the way for the study of strongly interacting superfluids of $^{40}$K. In the second part of this thesis, we present a narrow-linewidth, all-solid-state laser source, emitting 5.2 W in the vicinity of the lithium D-line transitions at 671 nm. The source is based on a diode-end-pumped unidirectional ring laser operating on the 1342 nm transition of Nd:YVO$_4$, capable of producing 6.5 W of single-mode light delivered in a diffraction-limited beam. We report on three different approaches for second-haromonic generation of its output beam, namely by employing an enhancement cavity containing a ppKTP crystal, intracavity frequency doubling and a ppZnO:LN waveguide structure

Full textThe main focus of this thesis is the theoretical study of strongly interacting quantum mixtures confined in one dimension and subjected to a harmonic external potential. Such strongly correlated systems can be realized and tested in ultracold atoms experiments. Their non-trivial permutational symmetry properties are investigated, as well as their interplay with correlations. Exploiting an exact solution at strong interactions, we extract general correlation properties encoded in the one-body density matrix and in the associated momentum distributions, in fermionic and Bose-Fermi mixtures. In particular, we obtain substantial results about the short-range behavior, and therefore the high-momentum tails, which display typical k^−4 laws. The weights of these tails, denoted as Tan’s contacts, are related to numerous thermodynamic properties of the systems such as the two-body correlations, the derivative of the energy with respect to the one-dimensional scattering length, or the static structure factor. We show that these universal Tan’s contacts also allow to characterize the spatial symmetry of the systems, and therefore is a deep connection between correlations and symmetries. Besides, the exchange symmetry is extracted using a group theory method, namely the class-sum method, which comes originally from nuclear physics. Moreover, we show that these systems follow a generalized version of the famous Lieb-Mattistheorem. Wishing to make our results as experimentally relevant as possible, we derive scaling laws for Tan’s contact as a function of the interaction, temperature and transverse confinement. These laws.

Full textElectron transfer reactions are at stake in several chemical, biological or photochemical processes of great interest as, for instance, photovoltaic technology or photosynthesis where they are rarely isolated. Furthermore, experimental results show that quantum phenomena, notably superpositions of states or coherences, can persist on the time scale of the electron transfer even in the presence of an environment. In this work, electron transfer is studied in three types of molecular systems. The first one is an intermolecular transfer in an oligothiophene-fullerene heterojonction modelling a charge separation interface for future organic photovoltaic devices. The second one is an intramolecular transfer in mixed-valence organic compounds where the bridge effect of an increasing n-paraphenylens chain is studied on aromatic polymers with donor-acceptor sites (1-4,dimethoxy-3-methylphenylens). The third one is an intermolecular transfer in a tryptophan chain of a cryptochrome chromoprotein. In all these cases, a special attention is given to realistic modelling. In this context, it is crucial to define carefully the partition between the degrees of freedom, in particular amongst those implied in the transfer and those qualified to be part of an environment. To this end, a Hamiltonian describing a donor-acceptor electronic system coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators is parameterized using the constrained DFT method (cDFT). The oscillators' bath is described by a normal mode analysis or via the electronic gap fluctuation obtained by QM/MM calculations. The systems under study turn out to be strongly coupled, and structured which requires to explore non-conventional strategies. In a model environment constituted of a finite number of oscillators treated explicitly, the dynamics is performed by multidimensional quantum propagation methods such as the multi-layer multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method (ML-MCTDH). In the dissipative approach, where the bath acts only by its statistical properties, it is mandatory to turn to non-perturbative methods such as the hierarchical equations of motion approach. Apart from these exact approaches, an alternative strategy consists in carrying out a change of coordinates in order to define a collective bath mode included in the electronic system, which itself is coupled to a secondary bath. The dynamical propagation can then be done by an approximated quantum master equation using perturbation theory. As main results, we show in detail the domain of validity of the different methods presented and explain the dynamical behaviour of the different cases leading to an easy delocalization or a trapping of the charge. Hence, we show that the methodology applied in model systems are well suited for the analysis of the mutual interplay between the charge transfer and nuclear deformations, a prototypical situation in many important chemical and biological processes

Full textThis dissertation deals with Bayesian nonparametric statistics, in particular nonparametric mixture models. The manuscript is divided into a general introduction and three parts on rather different aspects of mixtures approaches (sampling, asymptotic, inverse problem). In mixture models, the parameter to infer from the data is a function. We set a prior distribution on an abstract space of functions through a stochastic integral of a kernel with respect to a random measure. Usually, mixture models were used primilary in probability density function estimation problems. One of the contributions of the present manuscript is to use them in regression problems.In this context, we are essentially concerned with the following problems :- Sampling of the posterior distribution- Asymptotic properties of the posterior distribution- Inverse problems, in particular the estimation of the Wigner distribution from Quantum Homodyne Tomography measurements

Full textThis thesis presents the development and applications of an hybrid quantum-classical formalism in order to describe the electronic structure of an active system in a cryogenic environment (cluster or rare gas matrix). The quantum description of the electronical structure of the active system is based on a a tight-binding approximation of the density functional theory, with self-consistency regarding the charges (SCC-DFTB). The rare gaz environment is described via classical atom-atom potential (FF). The interaction between the active system and the atoms of the cryogenic environment is represented by local anisotropic matricial electron-atom operators, as well as by polarisation and dispersion contributions. Operators and interaction parameters are extracted from post Hartree-Fock \textit{ab initio} calculations (CCSD-T) of active atom/argon atom pairs. The applications involve hydrocarbons, isolated water clusters or hydrocarbon/water complexes in interaction with argon clusters or matrices. The model has been validated on small systems (C6H6 molecule, H2O molecule) in interaction with argon atoms and clusters. We have been able to determine structural and energetic data for (C6H6)Arn (n < 55) clusters which are benchmarked against ab initio results (DFT,CCSD-T) for the smaller sizes, or with respect to FF calculations, available in the literature, for larger sized clusters. The model enables to treat various electronic situations, allows in particular to determine the evolution of the ionization potentials of the active system as a function of the inert cluster size. The SCC-DFTB/FF model has then been applied to water molecules and water nano-clusters (H2O)n (n=2-6) embedded in argon matrices, represented by finite size cristal pieces of the face centered cubic lattice. Structural and energetical data have been obtained. Molecular dynamics studies have enabled the determination of finite temperature infrared (IR) spectra. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental spectra of the water monomer embedded in the matrix validates the SCC-DFTB/FF approach. The case of the water hexamer (H2O)6, the smallest cluster presenting a three-dimensional structure and caracterized by several low-energy isomers, has been investigated exhaustively : the effect of the matrix on the structures of some isomers has been shown as well as differential effects on their respective stabilities. An influence on IR lines positions has also been highlighted. Our theoretical study allows for a satisfactory interpretation of the experimental data for the smallest clusters (n<4). The assignment of the experimental spectra of the hexamer remains in discussion. Finally, preliminary results on structures, energetics and finite temperature IR spectra have been obtained for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) /water complexes. The results for the complexes are discussed in relation with experimental data obtained in the team of Joëlle Mascetti at the Institute of Molecular Sciences (University of Bordeaux I), in the context of an ANR collaborative project (ANR PARCS no 13-BS08-0005). The thesis has been co-financed by the CNRS Institute of Physics and Conseil Regional of Region Midi-Pyrénées

Full textSimulations of molten carbonate salts by the method of Molecular Dynamics (MD) have been performed with the fluctuanting charge (FC) model. The FC model implements the effect of polarization by using method of extended Lagrangian, where the extra variables are the partial charges of the poliatomic ion. The FC model was parametrized by ab inito calculations os a single carbonate anion. Quantum Chemistry calculations bave been used to corroborate the model for the carbonate anion. The investigated systems consist of alkaline carbonate mixtures, Li2CO3/K2CO3, which are used as electrolytes in fuel cells. MD simulations have been used to verify polarization effects on structure and dynamics of the liquid. We study the effect of including anion polarization on the condutivity of the electrolyte.

Full textAutomated treatment surface facilities, which employ computer-controlled hoists for part transportation, have been extensively established in various kinds of industrial companies, because of its numerous advantages over manual system, such as higher productivity, better product quality, and reduced labor intensity. Our research investigates three typical hoist scheduling problems with processing time windows in treatment surface facilities, which are: (I) cyclic single-hoist scheduling problem to minimize the cycle time; (II) cyclic single-hoist scheduling problem to minimize the cycle time and processing resource consumption (and consequently production cost); and (III) cyclic multi-hoist scheduling problem to minimize the cycle time.Due to the NP-completeness of the studied problems and numerous advantages of quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QEA), we first propose a hybrid QEA with improved decoding mechanism and repairing procedure to find the best cycle time for the first problem. After that, to enhance with both the economic and environmental performance, which constitute two of the three pillars of the sustainable strategy nowadays deployed in many industries, we formulate a bi-objective mathematical model for the second problem by using the method of prohibited interval. Then we propose a bi-objective QEA with local search procedure to simultaneously minimize the cycle time and production cost, and we find a set of Pareto-optimal solutions for this problem. As for the third problem, we find that most existing approaches, such as mixed integer programming (MIP) approach, may identify a non-optimal solution to be an optimal one due to an assumption related to the loaded hoist moves which is made in many existing researches. Consequently, we propose an improved MIP approach for this problem by relaxing the above-mentioned assumption. Our approach can guarantee the optimality of its obtained solutions.For each problem, experimental study on industrial instances and random instances has been conducted. Computational results demonstrate that the proposed scheduling algorithms are effective and justify the choices we made
