Ratchet Effect in a Triple Delta-Kicked Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigate the quantum ratchet effect in a triple delta-kicked model. Three symmetric flashing potentials alternately act on a particle with a symmetric and homogeneous initial state of zero momentum. Ratchet currents emerge when quantum resonances are excited. Ratchet currents in the triple model may be stronger than those in the previous model. Our work expands upon the quantum delta-kicked model and may contribute to experimental investigation of the quantum transport of cold atoms.
