Quantum diffusion in optical lattices

POSTER

Abstract

We study quantum diffusion in optical lattices. After an initial transient, atoms diffuse thought the lattice with a non-linear dependence on the lattice parameters. We demonstrate these results through numerical work on one-dimensional and three-dimensional solution of the time-dependent wave equation. We provide an analytical insight of the diffusion time on the lattice parameters. Furthermore, we present a applications to experimental results.
