Optical Potential Second order perturbation theory: Scattering rate:
Negligible Interactions Bloch Theorem: periodic potential
Limiting Cases Weak Lattice: Bandgap Wave functions: Near boundary: Tight Binding: Harmonic potential Wannier functions Eigenstates
Simulations 0 5
Rabi Oscillations k,ω1 -k,ω2 OR: Lattice fixed, and quasimomentum of BEC is non zero
Adiabatic Versus Sudden Release Adiabatic:
Weak Interactions - GPE Can solve and find: If interactions are weak:
GPE Bloch Wave with no linear counterpart: Bloch waves are not only solutions!
In lack of lattice: Landau Instability
Dynamical Instability If v=0
Dark: Dynamical Instability Light: Landau Instability Triangles: V=0 Circles:
