Title: Oscillations of Bose-Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional optical superlattice

Abstract

Oscillations of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates in a 1D optical lattice with a two-point basis is investigated. In the low-frequency regime, four branches of modes are resolved, that correspond to the transverse in-phase and out-of-phase breathing modes, and the longitudinal acoustic and optical phonon modes of the condensates. Dispersions of these modes depend intimately on the values of two intersite Josephson tunneling strengths, J{sub 1} and J{sub 2}, and the on-site repulsion U between the atoms. Observation of these mode dispersions is thus a direct way to access them.
