Background: atoms in spin-dependent optical lattices• optical lattice: spatially varying AC Stark shifts by interfering laser beams• trapping potential depends on the internal state
• we can move one potential relative to the other, and thus transport thecomponent in one internal state

Correcting defects in optical lattices
• Preparation of qubits via a superfluid – Mott insulator phase transition• Mott insulator have still some defects ...
present LMU exp.: approx. 1 out of 10 (not optimized)
• Questions: Even “more regular” loading? Can we heal defects? Self-healing?
Rem: it seems difficult to do this in normal solids

Feshbach switching in a spherical trap
• Start with the Feshbach resonance state 10 trap units above threshold
• Switch it suddenly close to threshold• Wait ~ 1 trap time (~ µs assuming MHz
trap)• Switch back• A phase π is accumulated• Fidelity: 0.9996
• No state dependence required, however difficult atom separation with state-independent potential
• State dependence: lattice displacement• Non-adiabatic transport in optical lattice:
simulation with realistic potential shape• Fidelity 0.99999 in 1.5 trap times through
optimal control theory

• Assumptions:– Cigar-shaped trap– Transverse motion “frozen”
• Lower longitudinal density of states– Bigger coupling to each level– Smaller non-adiabatic crossing
• Smoothly varying magnetic field• Phase gate in 1 trap time with fidelity
0.9996• Disadvantage: quasi-1D requirement
limits trap frequency & speed
• Idea: use this in a “free-fall” scheme where no state-dependent potential would be needed

Atoms in 1D lattices
Motivations:
Interferometry (attractive interaction)
very sensitive to (global) unbalance
Store qubit in a protected quantum memory (repulsive interaction)
unbalance:insensitive to (global) unbalance

Quantum Information Processing
Identifying the ground states as qubits:
Jx = 0: Two degenerate ground states form a protected quantum memory
Separated by a gap 2W from the higher excited states
Insensitive to global fluctuations of the form
