Manipulating the momentum state of a condensate by sequences of standing wave pulses

Abstract

We analyze the effects of sequences of standing wave pulses on a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Experimental observations are in good agreement with a numerical simulation based on the band structure theory in the optical lattice. We also demonstrate that a coherent control method based on such sequences of pulses is very efficient for experimentally designing specific momentum states.
