Project is funded by the European Social Fund, project code No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712-19-0013, the Grant is administered by the Lithuanian Research Council

Duration: 2021-07-01 – 2023-07-01

Supervisor: prof. dr. Gediminas Juzeliūnas

Summary: The main goal of the project is to analyze the non-classical states of spinful ultracold atoms affected by the periodic driving and spin-orbit coupling with the spin degree of freedom included. The periodic driving can be used as an alternative mechanism to facilitate creation of non-classical spin states and the spin squeezing via such a non-local interaction for ultracold atomic fermions in optical lattices. The interaction induced by the periodic driving can be turned on and off at appropriate times. Such a flexibility is important for the spin squeezing applications in order to reach the optimum squeezing. The studies to be carried out are expected to be used as direct recommendations for cold atom experiments.
