Abstract
We study optical thermalization dynamics in different optical lattices by evaluating mode occupation and entropy maximization under different nonlinear conditions. Via the Kullback-Leibler divergence, we unveil the difference in thermalization speed towards reaching the Rayleigh-Jeans distribution.
