Topological pumping of vortices through Bloch-like oscillations of a magnetic soliton — Franco Rabec, Guillaume Chauveau, •Guillaume Brochier, Sylvain Nascimbene, Jean Dalibard, and Jérôme Beugnon — Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Collège de France, France

Bloch oscillations are a striking feature of the counterintuitive motion of particles created by a lattice potential. However, one can reproduce such an effect with a system that is translationally invariant, provided that the dispersion relation remains periodic. An example is realized by a magnetic soliton which can be mapped onto an immiscible spin mixture in a quasi-1D Bose gas. We report on the observation of such Bloch-like oscillations. We experimentally investigate this phenomenon with both strict boundary conditions and periodic boundary conditions, the latter revealing the presence of a backflow and the formation of a topological vortex pump in this system.
