A new Bloch period for interacting cold atoms in 1D optical lattices

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

The paper studies Bloch oscillations of ultracold atoms in optical lattice in the presence of atom-atom interaction. A new, interaction-induced Bloch period is identified. The analytical results are corroborated by realistic numerical calculations.
