    Quantum correlations of spin-1 atoms in an optical lattice
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2009) Öztop, B.; Oktel, M. Ö.; Müstecaplioǧlu, Ö. E.
    In this work, we investigate the system of cold spin-1 atoms in a one dimensional optical lattice in relation with squeezing and entanglement. By using the corresponding Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, both superfluid and Mott-insulator phases are studied by using numerical methods in the mean-field approximation. To observe the presence of entanglement, we used a squeezing measure as a criterion for quantum correlations. We further investigate the two interaction regimes, namely ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic in the case of zero and nonzero but very small angle between the counterpropagating laser beams that form the optical lattice. States in the superfluid phase are calculated analytically by using the perturbation theory.

    Quantum entanglement of spin-1 bosons with coupled ground states in optical lattices
    (IOP Institute of Physics Publishing, 2009) Öztop, B.; Oktel, M. Ö.; Müstecapliolu, Ö. E.; You, L.
    We examine particle entanglement, characterized by pseudo-spin squeezing, of spin-1 bosonic atoms with coupled ground states in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Both the superfluid and Mott-insulator phases are investigated separately for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Mode entanglement is also discussed in the Mott-insulating phase. The role of a small but nonzero angle between the polarization vectors of counter-propagating lasers forming the optical lattice on quantum correlations is investigated as well.
