Momentum distribution and coherence of a weakly interacting Bose gas after a quench

Abstract

We consider a weakly interacting uniform atomic Bose gas with a time-dependent nonlinear coupling constant. By developing a suitable Bogoliubov treatment we investigate the time evolution of several observables, including the momentum distribution, the degree of coherence in the system, and their dependence on dimensionality and temperature. We rigorously prove that the low-momentum Bogoliubov modes remain frozen during the whole evolution, while the high-momentum ones adiabatically follow the change in time of the interaction strength. At intermediate momenta we point out the occurrence of oscillations, which are analogous to Sakharov oscillations. We identify two wide classes of time-dependent behaviors of the coupling for which an exact solution of the problem can be found, allowing for an analytic computation of all the relevant observables. A special emphasis is put on the study of the coherence property of the system in one spatial dimension. We show that the system exhibits a smooth "light-cone effect," with typically no prethermalization. arXiv:1810.01362v2 [cond-mat.quant-gas]

“…It has been shown [6] that quantum depletion can be enhanced by increasing the s-wave scattering length through Feshbach resonances [7,8]. By dynamically changing the s-wave scattering length [9], phonon excitations can alter the quantum depletion, the momentum distribution [10], correlations [11], contact [12,13], and statistics [14] of the condensate. Moreover the phonon induced quantum depletion plays a vital role in the formation of droplets in BECs [15].…”

Correlation evolution in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates after quantum quenches

“…In the 3d case, the loss of long-range coherence stabilizes at a constant value, as expected for a BEC. However, this value δN/N = √ γ 4π ≈ 0.080 √ γ, seen also in [25], is larger than the ground state value of √ γ 3π 2 ≈ 0.034 √ γ [28]. This indicates that the quench excites many more pairs than appear in the ground state.…”

“…Eq. ( 27) describes the dynamical spreading of correlations in a 2D Bose gas initially quenched from a weakly fluctuating state [98,99,100,101]. In the present case however, the fluctuations are are neither quantum or thermal but stem from the random potential.…”
