Construction of Wannier function for optical lattice potential
Parameters of the Bose-Hubbard model require the knowledge of the Wannier functions from the lowets band of the optical lattice potential $V(x) = V_{0}sin^{2}(kx)$ according to equations: $$J = int dx...

When we are introduced to the density of states in typical band-theory problems we neglect interaction between electrons, and thus we define the density of states of a sigle particle as:...
