Prethermalization in the cooling dynamics of an impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Tobias Lausch, Artur Widera, Michael Fleischhauer

We discuss the cooling dynamics of heavy impurity atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by emission of Cherenkov phonons from scattering with the condensate. In a weakly interacting low-temperature condensate, different scattering processes result in a separation of time scales of the thermalization dynamics. Prethermalized states are formed with distinct regions of impurity momenta determined by the mass ratio of impurity and BEC atoms. This can be employed to detect the mass renormalization of the impurity upon the formation of a polaron and paves the way to preparing nonequilibrium impurity-momentum distributions.

Quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose–Einstein condensate system

Yu Han, Li Zhen, Le‐Man Kuang

Abstract We study the quantum dynamics of an impurity-doped Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) system. We show how to generate the macroscopic quantum superposition states (MQSSs) of the BEC by the use of projective measurements on impurity atoms. It is found that the nonclassicality of MQSSs can be manipulated by changing the number of the impurities and their interaction with the BEC. It is shown that the BEC matter-wave field exhibits a collapse and revival phenomenon which reveals the quantum nature of the BEC matter-wave field. We investigate the micro-macro entanglement between the impurities and the BEC, and find enhancement of the micro-macro entanglement induced by the initial quantum coherence of the impurity atoms.
