A simpel and versatile cold-atom simulator of non-Abelian gauge potentials

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show how a single, harmonically trapped atom in a tailored magnetic field can be used for simulating the effects of a broad class of non-abelian gauge potentials. We demonstrate how to implement Rashba or Linear-Dresselhaus couplings, or observe {\em Zitterbewegung} of a Dirac particle.
