Nonlinearity induced destruction of resonant tunneling in the Wannier-Stark problem

Abstract

Description

We present detailed numerical results on the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a tilted periodic optical lattice over many Bloch periods. We show that an increasing atom-atom interaction systematically affects coherent tunneling, and eventually destroys the resonant tunneling peaks.
