We consider the quantum dynamics of a coherent density wave under Bose-Hubbard model. It was recently shown [1] that the corresponding classical density undergoes a dynamical transition between an ergodic and a nonergodic regime. This is due to a dramatic change of the stability of the associated classical trajectories, when changing the ratio between hopping and onsite interaction energy. We claim in [2] that this dynamical transition can be very clearly seen through purely quantum observables. This provides with a generalisation of the seminal self-trapping transition [3] to higher dimension. A possible way to observe it in a cold-atom experiment is also discussed.
