From the Area under the Bessel Excursion to Anomalous Diffusion of Cold Atoms
Lévy flights are random walks in which the probability distribution of the step sizes is fat-tailed. Lévy spatial diffusion has been observed for a collection of ultracold ^{87}Rb atoms and single ^{24}Mg^{+} ions in an optical lattice, a system which allows for a unique degree of control of the dyn...
