Quantum pumping with ultracold atoms on microchips: fermions versus bosons.
We present a design for simulating quantum pumping of electrons in a mesoscopic circuit with ultracold atoms in a micromagnetic chip trap. We calculate theoretical results for quantum pumping of both bosons and fermions, identifying differences and common features, including geometric behavior and resonance transmission. We analyze the feasibility of experiments with bosonic ;{87}Rb and fermionic ;{40}K atoms with an emphasis on reliable atomic current measurements.
