7 On the Poisson Structure of the Time-Dependent Mean-Field Equations For Systems of Bosons out of Equilibrium

Mohamed Benarous

We analyze the Poisson structure of the time-dependent mean-field equations for bosons and construct the Lie-Poisson bracket associated to these equations. The latter follow from the time-dependent variational principle of Balian and Veneroni when a gaussian Ansatz is chosen for the density operator. We perform a stability analysis of both the full and the linearized equations. We also search for the canonically conjugate variables. In certain cases, the evolution equations can indeed be cast in a Hamiltonian form.

Mean-field approximation to the master equation for sympathetic cooling of trapped bosons

Shun-Jin Wang, Maria Carolina Nemes, A. N. Salgueiro +1 more

We use the mean-field approximation to simplify the master equation for sympathetic cooling of bosons. For the mean single-particle occupation numbers, this approach yields the same equations as the factorization assumption introduced in an early paper. The stationary or equilibrium solution of the resulting master equation for the one-body density matrix shows that the mean-field approximation breaks down whenever the fraction of condensate bosons exceeds 10% or so of the total. Using group-theoretical methods, we also solve the time-dependent master equation for the one-body density matrix. Given the time dependence of the mean single-particle occupation numbers, this solution is obtained by quadratures. It tends asymptotically towards the equilibrium solution.

Many-Body Quantum Dynamics of a Bosonic Josephson Junction with a Finite-Range Interaction

Sudip Kumar Haldar, Ofir E. Alon

The out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics of a Bose gas trapped in an asymmetric double well and interacting with a finite-range interaction has been studied in real space by solving the time-dependent many-body Schrödinger equation numerically accurately using the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for bosons (MCTDHB). We have focused on the weakly interacting limit where the system is essentially condensed. We have examined the impact of the range of the interaction on the dynamics of the system, both at the mean-field and many-body levels. Explicitly, we have studied the maximal and the minimal values of the many-body position variance in each cycle of oscillation, and the overall pace of its growth. We find that the range of the interaction affects the dynamics of the system differently for the right well and the left well. We have also examined the infinite-particle limit and find that even there, the impact of the range of the interaction can only be described by a many-body theory such as MCTDHB.
