Quantum resonances in the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator (2009)
Journal Article
Billam, T., & Gardiner, S. (2009). Quantum resonances in the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator. Physical Review A, 80(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.80.023414

Under certain conditions, the quantum delta-kicked harmonic oscillator displays quantum resonances. We consider an atom-optical realization of the delta-kicked harmonic oscillator and present a theoretical discussion of the quantum resonances that co...

Conical intersections in laboratory coordinates with ultracold molecules (2009)
Journal Article
Wallis, A. O. G., Gardiner, S. A., & Hutson, J. M. (2009). Conical intersections in laboratory coordinates with ultracold molecules. Physical Review Letters, 103(8), Article 083201. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.103.083201

For two states of opposite parity that cross as a function of an external magnetic field, the addition of an electric field will break the symmetry and induce an avoided crossing. A suitable arrangement of fields may be used to create a conical inter... Read More about Conical intersections in laboratory coordinates with ultracold molecules.

Fractional resonances in the atom-optical delta-kicked accelerator (2009)
Journal Article
Saunders, M., Halkyard, P., Gardiner, S., & Challis, K. (2009). Fractional resonances in the atom-optical delta-kicked accelerator. Physical Review A, 79(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.79.023423

We consider resonant dynamics in a dilute atomic gas falling under gravity through a periodically pulsed standing-wave laser field. Our numerical calculations are based on a Monte Carlo method for an incoherent mixture of noninteracting plane waves,...
