Fig. 2: Experimental and theoretical loss times for three different lattices.
The simulated curves are in black and the experimental data are in red. a The loss times for spectroscopy of a two-site lattice as a function of Einj (in units of the lattice hopping energy t). This panel of data is the same as in Fig. 1a, with t = h × 1598(10) Hz and tinj = h × 40(10) Hz. Note that the vertical axes for the simulation and the experimental data are on different scales. b The loss times for injection into a three-site lattice with uniform system hopping t = h × 2040(3) Hz and tinj = h ×  50(3) Hz. We again note the different vertical axes for the simulation and experimental data. c The loss time as measured by injection spectroscopy of a uniform 26-site lattice. Here, we operate with a uniform system hopping t = h × 492(10) Hz and with tinj = h ×  50(10) Hz, and the simulations and data have common vertical axes. The error bars in a and b reflect the standard error of the fit 1/e loss time. The error bars in (c) relate to the standard error of the measured probe population, propagated to an error in the 1/e time constant.
