Lattice control of nonergodicity in a polar lattice gas

Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Strong enough intersite interactions may result in lack of ergodicity in disorder-free many-body lattice systems. Ultracold dipolar gases in optical lattices provide an experimentally accessible platform for exploring this physics. Dipolar intersite interactions are usually assumed to decay with a fixed power law. We show that in a one-dimensional polar lattice gas the actual decay depends on the transversal confinement. This affects profoundly the particle dynamics, which mimics rather that of a system with an externally controllable effective power-law interaction. Our results show that the crucial role of the interaction decay on disorder-free localization may be flexibly studied in experiments with polar gases.
