Effect of interactions on the localization of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a quasi-periodic lattice
J. E. Lye, L. Fallani, C. Fort +4
The transport properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D incommensurate bichromatic lattice are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. We observe a blockage of t…
Towards a Bose-Glass of ultracold atoms in a disordered crystal of light
L. Fallani, J. E. Lye, V. Guarrera +2
Starting from one-dimensional Mott Insulators, we use a bichromatic optical lattice to add controlled disorder to an ideal optical crystal where bosonic atoms are pinned by repulsi…
A Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice with tunable spacing: transport and static properties
Leonardo Fallani, Chiara Fort, Jessica Lye +1
In this Letter we report the investigation of transport and static properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a large-spaced optical lattice. The lattice spacing can be easily tun…
Unstable regimes for a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice
L. De Sarlo, L. Fallani, J. E. Lye +4
We report on the experimental characterization of energetic and dynamical instability, two mechanisms responsible for the breakdown of Bloch waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate int…
A Bose-Einstein condensate in a random potential
J. E. Lye, L. Fallani, M. Modugno +3
An optical speckle potential is used to investigate the static and dynamic properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of disorder. For strong disorder the condensate…
Observation of dynamical instability for a Bose-Einstein condensate in a moving 1D optical lattice
L. Fallani, L. De Sarlo, J. E. Lye +4
We have experimentally studied the unstable dynamics of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a 1D moving optical lattice. The lifetime of the condensate in s…
