Abstract
For a homonuclear ion-atom system, we show that the exchange symmetry leads to special outcomes for ion transport that manifest themselves in ultracold experiments. We compute the two body charge hopping probabilities and rates, which are used to model charge hopping in the dynamics of an ultracold 6/7 Li+ ion immersed within an ultracold gas of 6/7 Li atoms at micro-Kelvin temperatures. We show that the charge hopping and collisional diffusion compete, giving unique results leading to charge trapping in regions of high atomic density gradient. These investigations in ion-atom systems open a new approach to probe quantum phenomena in various systems with exchange symmetry.
