Spectroscopy of Ultracold Atoms by Periodic Lattice Modulations

Spectroscopy of Ultracold Atoms by Periodic Lattice Modulations

We present a nonperturbative analysis of a new experimental technique for probing ultracold bosons in an optical lattice by periodic lattice depth modulations. This is done using the time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group method. We find that sharp energy absorption peaks are not unique to the Mott insulating phase at commensurate …
