Quantum simulation of strong field phenomena and curved spaces in deformed optical lattices — •Nikodem Szpak — Faculty of Physics, University of Duisburg-Essen

Low energy excitations in specially designed optical lattice systems can behave like relativistic particles. Inhomogeneous perturbations of these lattices can give rise to effective coupling to artificial electromagnetic fields and curvature. We give a review of interesting strong field phenomena, like spontaneous pair creation or graviational lensing, still not accessible in direct experiments, which can be simulated with cold atoms in finite size optical lattices.
