Bogoliubov sound speed in periodically modulated Bose-Einstein condensates

arXiv:cond-mat/0308194 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.68.053611

Abstract

We study the Bogoliubov excitations of a Bose-condensed gas in an optical lattice. Of primary interest is the long wavelength phonon dispersion for both current-free and current-carrying condensates. We obtain the dispersion relation by carrying out a systematic expansion of the Bogoliubov equations in powers of the phonon wave vector. Our result for the current-carrying case agrees with the one recently obtained by means of a hydrodynamic theory.
