Dynamics of correlations in shallow optical lattices

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We explore how correlations evolve in a gas of lattice bosons when the lattice depth is rapidly reduced. We find a simple closed form expression for the static structure factor in the limit of vanishing interactions. The corresponding real-space density correlation function shows multiple spatial oscillations which linearly disperse as a function of time. By perturbatively including the effects of the interactions we calculate how the boson quasi-momentum evolves following the quench.
