Abstract

In this
study, we examine the dynamics of Bose Einstein condensate trapped by Fourier
synthesized optical lattice potential. We use time-dependent variational
approach to find the ordinary differential equations of motion. We also solve directly
Gross Pitaevskii equation numerically using split step Fourier method to verify
our findings. Good agreement is achieved between analytical and numerical
results.

Keywords

Gross Pitaevskii equation, Variational method
