Phase diffusion of Bose–Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional optical lattice
We investigate the phase diffusion of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in the combined potential of a magnetic trap and a one-dimensional optical lattice. We show that the phase diffusion of the condensate in the whole optical lattice is evident and can be measured from the interference pattern of expanding …
