How to study correlation functions in fluctuating Bose liquids using interference experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interference experiments with independent condensates provide a powerful tool for analyzing correlation functions. Scaling of the average fringe contrast with the system size is determined by the two-point correlation function and can be used to study the Luttinger liquid liquid behavior in one-dimensional systems and to observe the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in two-dimensional quasicondensates. Additionally, higher moments of the fringe contrast can be used to determine the higher order correlation functions. In this article we focus on interference experiments with one-dimensional Bose liquids and show that methods of conformal field theory can be applied to calculate the full quantum distribution function of the fringe contrast.

Interference between independent fluctuating condensates.
We consider a problem of interference between two independent condensates that lack true long-range order. We show that their interference pattern contains information about correlation functions within each condensate. As an example, we analyze the interference between a pair of one-dimensional interacting Bose liquids. We find universal scaling of the average fringe contrast with system size ...
متن کاملVortex pairing in two-dimensional Bose gases
Recent experiments on ultracold Bose gases in two dimensions have provided evidence for the existence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase via analysis of the interference between two independent systems. In this work we study the two-dimensional quantum degenerate Bose gas at finite temperature using the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation classical field method. Although this de...
متن کاملSpatial correlations in sheared isothermal liquids: from elastic particles to granular particles.
Spatial correlations in sheared isothermal liquids for both elastic and granular cases are theoretically investigated. Using the generalized fluctuating hydrodynamics, correlation functions for both the microscopic scale and the macroscopic scale are obtained. We find the existence of long-range correlations obeying power laws. The validity of our theoretical predictions has been verified from ...
متن کاملUnified description of long-time tails and long-range correlation functions for sheared granular liquids
Abstract. Unified description on the long-time tail of velocity autocorrelation function and the longrange correlation for the equal-time spatial correlation functions is developed based on the generalized fluctuating hydrodynamics. The cross-over of the long-time tail from t to t is predicted independent of the density, and the equal-time spatial density correlation function and the equal-time...
متن کاملMapping of Coulomb gases and sine-Gordon models to statistics of random surfaces
We introduce a new class of sine-Gordon models, for which the interaction term is present in a region different from the domain over which the quadratic part is defined. We develop a nonperturbative approach for calculating partition functions of such models, which relies on mapping them to statistical properties of random surfaces. As a specific application of our method, we consider the probl...
