Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to invite you to the next CPQM Seminar on Topological phase transitions in tilted optical lattices to be given by Prof. Andrey Kolovsky
When: February 7, 16:00
Where: MR-351 TPOC4 (Red building)
SEMINAR ABSTRACT
By definition, Wannier-Stark states are eigenstates of a quantum particle in a tilted (biased) lattice. These states are well understood in one dimension but their extension into two dimensions continues to surprise researches. In the talk I briefly review main properties of Wannier-Stark states of a quantum particle in two-dimensional lattices and then highlight recent results for some particular lattices, where Wannier-Stark states possess interesting topological properties.
