Ratchet effect in driven Bose-Einstein condensates — •Martin Heimsoth, Charles Edward Creffield, and Fernando Sols — Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The generation of a particle current by exposing the system to an unbiased asymmetric periodic driving field is known as the ratchet effect. We demonstrate numerically that a current of a Bose-Einstein condensate whose motion is effectively restricted to a torus can be produced via a driving field with broken spatiotemporal symmetries. We explore the strong driving regime beyond the results presented in Ref [1]. Furthermore, we present a comparison of our numerical results with a recent experimental realization [2].
