Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 100403 (2009) [4 pages]Coherent Control of Dressed Matter WavesReceived 18 November 2008; published 13 March 2009 We demonstrate experimentally that matter waves can be coherently and adiabatically loaded and controlled in one-, two-, and three-dimensional strongly driven optical lattices. This coherent control is then used in order to reversibly induce the superfluid-Mott insulator phase transition by changing the strength of the driving. Our findings pave the way for studies of driven quantum systems and new methods for controlling matter waves. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
