Nonlinear Dynamics in a Synthetic Momentum-State Lattice

The scope of analog simulation in atomic, molecular, and optical systems has expanded greatly over the past decades. Recently, the idea of synthetic dimensions -- in which transport occurs in a space spanned by internal or motional states coupled by field-driven transitions -- has played a key role in this expansion. While approaches based on synthetic dimensions have led to rapid advances in single-particle Hamiltonian engineering, strong...
