DYNAMICS OF BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE IN FOURIER SYNTESIZED OPTICAL LATTICE POTENTIAL
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.
