Coherent oscillations in a many-body Wannier-Stark system — •Patrick Plötz and Sandro Wimberger — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Heidelberg, Philosophenweg 19, 69120 Heidelberg

We study the effect of a many-body interaction on inter-band oscillations in a two-band Bose-Hubbard model with external Stark force. We identify a regime of strong inter-band coupling and observe an interaction-induced collapse and revival of the resonant inter-band oscillations. Effective models for oscillations in and out of resonance are presented and analytical predictions for the collapse and revival time of the oscillations are given.
