ac-driven atomic quantum motor — •Sergey Denisov, Alexey V. Ponomarev, and Peter Hanggi — Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg, Germany

Our ac-driven quantum motor [1,2,3] consists of only two different, interacting ultracold atoms placed into a ring-shaped optical lattice. In this setup, while the first atom driven by an external magnetic field carries a current, the second one serves as a quantum starter. We demonstrate that (i) for zero-momentum initial conditions the asymptotic carrier velocity converges to a unique non-zero value, and (ii) the atomic quantum motor is able to perform a work against a constant load.
