26. For all lattice depths, the maximum site-to-site potential difference of 40 Hz is much less than both the on-site interaction energy and the tunneling energy, so that the transport studied in this work is fundamentally different from the excitations due to potential gradients reported in Ref. [25].

28. For overdamped motion, the extracted damping constants b depend very weakly on m*/m. For underdamped motion, the shallowness of the axial lattice means corrections to m* due to interactions should be small. Therefore we expect all extracted damping constants b to be insensitive to corrections to m* due to interactions.

30. During the ∼100ms in which we observe the cloud's motion, we observe a small growth in the width of the TOF image, at a rate that is independent of excitation or damping, consistent with heating due to spontaneous scattering of lattice photons.
