Bloch oscillations of cold atoms in a cavity: Effects of quantum noise
Abstract
We extend our theory of Bloch oscillations of cold atoms inside an optical cavity [Venkatesh , Phys. Rev. A 80, 063834 (2009)PLRAAN1050-294710.1103/PhysRevA.80.063834] to include the effects of quantum noise arising from coupling to external modes. The noise acts as a form of quantum measurement backaction by perturbing the coupled dynamics of the atoms and the light. We take it into account by solving the Heisenberg-Langevin equations for …
