Mott-insulator state of cold atoms in tilted optical lattices: doublon dynamics and multi-level Landau-Zener tunneling

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the dynamical response of strongly interacting Bose atoms in an adiabatically tilted optical lattice. The analysis is performed in terms of the multi-level Landau-Zenner tunneling. Different regimes of tunneling are identified and analytical expressions for the doublon number, which is the quantity measured in laboratory experiments, are derived.
