Abstract:
We derive by analytical means a new set of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations using the Gross-Pitaevskii 0 K equation for the dynamics of a high-density Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into a deep optical lattice [1]. The derived equations take into account the changes in the density profile of the wave function in each well of the potential through the versatile q-Gaussian local ansatz of the condensate wave function. The q-parameter of the ansatz allows a description of the entire density regime of the condensate, from low- to high-densities [2]. We compare our equation with those previously used for low-density condensates loaded into optical lattices [3].
