    Difference between 1D lattice and 2D lattice on BEC

    I studied in AMO physics. nowaday, I study about BEC. I'm wonder, Difference between 1D lattice and 2D lattice on BEC. In the web, they just explain what they do using that. Maybe just short word, or sentence, give me a huge knowledge. Thanks you, and Have a nice day!
