Mean-Field Scaling of the Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition in a 2D Optical Superlattice

Mean-Field Scaling of the Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition in a 2D Optical Superlattice

The mean-field treatment of the Bose-Hubbard model predicts properties of lattice-trapped gases to be insensitive to the specific lattice geometry once system energies are scaled by the lattice coordination number $z$. We test this scaling directly by comparing coherence properties of $^{87}$Rb gases that are driven across the superfluid to …
