Description

I present some recent simulations of time-dependent phenomena in bosons in optical lattices. For a system with a Mott-superfluid interface, an instability reminiscent of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is seen to occur. In a trap, this instability is seen to be responsible for phase slip.
