Quantum Simulation of an Extra Dimension

We present a general strategy to simulate a D + 1 -dimensional quantum system using a D -dimensional one. We analyze in detail a feasible implementation of our scheme using optical lattice technology. The simplest nontrivial realization of a fourth dimension corresponds to the creation of a bi-volum...

Sumario:We present a general strategy to simulate a D + 1 -dimensional quantum system using a D -dimensional one. We analyze in detail a feasible implementation of our scheme using optical lattice technology. The simplest nontrivial realization of a fourth dimension corresponds to the creation of a bi-volume geometry. We also propose single- and many-particle experimental signatures to detect the effects of the extra dimension.
