Single particle and collective dynamics in periodic potentials

In this thesis, we describe, both semiclassically and quantum mechanically, the single-particle and collective dynamics of electrons and ultracold atoms moving through periodic potentials. Firstly, we explore collective electron dynamics in superlattices with an applied voltage and tilted magnetic...
