Decay of super-currents in condensates in optical lattices
A. Polkovnikov, E. Altman, E. Demler +2
In this paper we discuss decay of superfluid currents in boson lattice systems due to quantum tunneling and thermal activation mechanisms. We derive asymptotic expressions for the…

Decay of a superfluid currents in a moving system of strongly interacting bosons
A. Polkovnikov, E. Altman, E. Demler +2
We analyze the stability and decay of supercurrents of strongly interacting bosons on optical lattices. At the mean field level, the system undergoes an irreversible dynamic phase…

Superfluid-insulator transition in a moving system of interacting bosons
E. Altman, A. Polkovnikov, E. Demler +2
We analyze stability of superfluid currents in a system of strongly interacting ultra-cold atoms in an optical lattice. We show that such a system undergoes a dynamic, irreversible…
