- Abstract: The acceleration theorem for wavepacket propagation in periodic potentials
disentangles the kspace dynamics and real-space dynamics. This is well known
and understood for Bloch oscillations and super Bloch oscillations in the
presence of position-independent forces. Here, we analyze the dynamics of a
model system in which the k-space dynamics and the real-space dynamics are
inextricably intertwined due to a position-dependent force which is provided by
a parabolic trap. We demonstrate that this coupling gives rise to significantly
modified and rich dynamics when the lattice is shaken by a modulated parabolic
potential. The dynamics range from chirped Bloch-Harmonic oscillations to the
asymmetric spreading oscillations. We analyze these findings by tracing the
spatio-temporal dynamics in real space and by visualizing the relative phase in
the k-space dynamics which leads to an accurate explanation of the obtained
phenomena. We also compare our numerical results to a local acceleration model
and obtain very good agreement for the case of coherent oscillations, however,
deviations for oscillations with spreading dynamics which altogether supports
the interpretations of our findings.
