  "abstract": "We calculate the effect of interactions on the expansion of ultracold atoms from a single site of an optical lattice. We use these results to predict how interactions influence the interference pattern observed in a time of flight experiment. We find that for typical interaction strengths their influence is negligible, yet that they reduce visibility near a scattering resonance.",
