Dynamics of spatial phase coherence in a dissipative Bose–Hubbard atomic system by Vatré, Rémy, Bouganne, Raphaël, Bosch Aguilera, Manel, Ghermaoui, Alexis, Beugnon, Jérôme, Lopes, Raphael, Gerbier, Fabrice

“…Here we measure the correlation function of the matter field for fixed distances corresponding to nearest-neighbor (n-n) and next-nearest-neighbor (n-n-n) sites of the optical lattice as a function of time, hereafter called n-n and n-n-n correlators. For strongly interacting lattice gases, we find that the n-n correlator $C_1$ decays as a power-law at long times, $C_1\propto 1/t^{\alpha }$, in stark contrast with the exponential decay expected for independent particles. …”
