Bose Gases With Fully Resonant Interactions: Where Few-body Meets Many-Body?

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

Starting from a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate we quench suddenly to interactions which are formally infinite. The ensuing non-equilibrium evolution occurs over multiple timescales. We attempt to explain these observations in terms of the signatures of dilute, few-body physics that survive in the midst of a strongly interacting many-body system.
