One-Dimensional Matter Waves as a Multi-State Bit

We design a simple technique to control the position of a localized matter wave. Our system is composed of two counter-phased periodic potentials and a third optical lattice, which can be either periodic or disordered. The only control needed on the system is a three-state switch that allows the sud...

Description
Summary:We design a simple technique to control the position of a localized matter wave. Our system is composed of two counter-phased periodic potentials and a third optical lattice, which can be either periodic or disordered. The only control needed on the system is a three-state switch that allows the sudden selection of the desired potential. The method is proposed as a possible new alternative to achieving the realization of a multi-state bit. We show that this framework is robust, and that the multi-state bit behavior can be observed under weak assumptions. Given the current degree of development of matter wave control in optical lattices, we believe that the proposed device would be easily reproducible in a laboratory, allowing for testing and industrial applications.
