Modeling the system as a Bose-Hubbard model, we show how applying a periodic driving field can induce coherent destruction of tunneling. In the low-frequency regime, we obtain the novel result that the destruction of tunneling displays extremely sharp peaks when the driving frequency is resonant with the depth of the trapping potential (‘‘multi-photon resonances’’), which allows the quantum phase transition between the Mott insulator and the superfluid state to be controlled with high precision. We further show how the waveform of the field can be chosen to maximize this effect.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.210403http://journals.aps.orgopen access538.9Optical latticesAtomsFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
