Multimode model for an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a ring-shaped optical lattice

Abstract: We study the population dynamics of a ring-shaped optical lattice with a high number of particles per site and a low (less than ten) number of wells. Using a localized on-site basis defined in terms of stationary states, we were able to construct a multiple-mode model depending on relevant hopping and on-site energy parameters. We show that in the case of two wells, our model corresponds exactly to a recent improvement of the two-mode model. We derive a formula for the self-trapping period, which turns out to … Show more

“…From the symmetry of the lattice, the jump in the phase is ∆β k = ∆β = Θ. If the velocity field in the localized WL function w k is homogeneous, and hence V k (r) = Ω × r k cm , one can use (25) to calculate the circulation from r k,k−1 to r k,k+1 as their phase difference, yielding…”

“…Moreover, one can infer the change of sign of ∂ρ M (r, t)/∂t at the junctions by analyzing Eq. (20). One can thus conclude that particles oscillate across both junctions of a given site without changing its net population.…”

“…The equations of motion of the multimode model has been previously studied both for multiple-well systems in general [20,25] and also in the case of a four-well system [16,18]. Here, we only review its main ingredients, focusing in the definition of their localized states extracted from the stationary solutions of the GP equations.…”
