Non-Equilibrium Dynamics Beyond Dephasing: Recurrences and Loss Induced Cooling in One-dimensional Bose Gases by Bernhard RauerEnglish | EPUB | 2019 | 140 Pages | ISBN : 3030182355 | 10.5 MB
Cold atomic gases trapped and manipulated on atom chips allow the realization of seminal one-dimensional (1d) quantum many-body problems in an isolated and well controlled environment. In this context, this thesis presents an extensive experimental study of non-equilibrium dynamics in 1d Bose gases, with a focus on processes that go beyond simple dephasing dynamics. It reports on the observation of recurrences of coherence in the post-quench dynamics of a pair of 1d Bose gases and presents a detailed study of their decay.
