Group Seminar MPQ: Quantum dynamics in a bosonic quantum gas

Dr. Corinna Kollath, University of Geneva
Atomic gases cooled to Nanokelvin temperatures are a new exciting tool to study a broad range of quantum phenomena. In particular, the outstanding degree of control which has been achieved over these quantum systems facilitates access to the dynamics of strongly correlated quantum many body physics. I will report on different non-equilibrium situations. The first is the almost adiabatic preparation of the gas by a slow parameter change. The second is the coupling to a dissipative local defect which induces atom losses as found for example in hybrid systems.
