Increasing the tunneling amplitude between adjacent gases drives a deconfinement transition to a phase where coherence is established between neighboring two-dimensional gases. We compute the signature of this transition in the interference pattern of the system as well as in its rotational response, which provides a direct measurement of the superfluidity in the system.4+ pages, 1 figureStatistical MechanicsStrongly Correlated ElectronsCompetition between Vortex Unbinding and Tunneling in an Optical Latticetext
