The s -wave approximation is still very good in optical lattices since the lattice period of optical lattices is much larger than the effective range of the interatomic potential and s -wave scattering length, and the higher partial wave is still not important; see S.

16. It is because the lowest energy states in each table are all constructive superposition of different states while other states are destructive superposition.
