Sandholzer, Kilian Murakami, Yuta Görg, Frederik Minguzzi, Joaquín Messer, Michael Desbuquois, Rémi Eckstein, Martin Werner, Philipp Esslinger, Tilman 2019-11-08 We perform an ab initio comparison between nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory and optical lattice experiments by studying the time evolution of double occupations in the periodically driven Fermi-Hubbard model. For off-resonant driving, the range of validity of a description in terms of an effective static Hamiltonian is determined and its breakdown due to energy absorption close to resonance is demonstrated. For near-resonant driving, we investigate the response to a change in driving amplitude and discover an asymmetric excitation spectrum with respect to the detuning. In general, we find good agreement between experiment and theory, which cross validates the experimental and numerical approaches in a strongly correlated nonequilibrium system. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/308136 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/308136/files/wer_qsm.pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/308136/files/wer_qsm_sm.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.193602 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Physical Review Letters. - 2019, vol. 123, no. 19, p. 193602 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 Quantum simulation meets nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory: exploring the periodically driven, strongly correlated fermi-hubbard model http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
