Figure 6.6.: Real-space portraits <strong>of</strong> Bloch oscillations for several modulations g(t). In<br />
the linear case (a), the Bloch oscillation is very long-living. In presence <strong>of</strong> a constant<br />
interaction (b), the wave packet decays after a few Bloch cycles TB. In (c) and (d), the<br />
interaction parameter is modulated according to (6.16) and the oscillations are indeed<br />
long-living. Only very slight deformations occur in (d). In (e) and (f), the modulation <strong>of</strong><br />
the interaction parameter does not comply with (6.16). At g(t) ∝ sin(F t) (e), the wave<br />
packet is first contracted (t ≈ 3TB), then perturbations on a short scale grow. When<br />
modulating at double Bloch frequency (f), only short-scale perturbations are visible, but<br />
no contraction. Further parameters: F = 0.2, σ0 = 10, Bloch amplitude xB = 2/F = 10<br />
sites.<br />
