Quantum dew: Formation of quantum liquid in a nonequilibrium Bose gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider phase separation in a nonequilibrium Bose gas with an attractive interaction between particles. Using numerical integrations on a lattice, we show that the system evolves into a state that contains drops of a Bose-Einstein condensate suspended in uncondensed gas. When the initial gas is sufficiently rarefied, the rate of formation of this quantum dew scales with the initial density as expected for a process governed by two-particle collisions.

Statistical models of nonequilibrium Bose gases
The idea is advanced that strong perturbations of an initially equilibrium Bose-condensed gas lead to the sequence of nonequilibrium states whose order is inverse to the sequence of states arising in the process of the Bose-gas relaxation from an initial nonequilibrium state. An approach is described for constructing statistical models of nonequilibrium Bose gases. The method is based on the av...
متن کاملBistability in the Electric Current through a Quantum-Dot Capacitively Coupled to a Charge-Qubit
We investigate the electronic transport through a single-level quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-qubit. By employing the method of nonequilibrium Green's functions, we calculate the electric current through quantum dot at finite bias voltages. The Green's functions and self-energies of the system are calculated perturbatively and self-consistently to the second order of inte...
متن کاملQuantum gas-liquid condensation in an attractive Bose gas.
Gas-liquid condensation (GLC) in an attractive Bose gas is studied on the basis of statistical mechanics. Using some results in combinatorial mathematics, the following are derived. (1) With decreasing temperature, the Bose-statistical coherence grows in the many-body wave function, which gives rise to the divergence of the grand partition function prior to Bose-Einstein condensation. It is a q...
متن کاملDilute Fermi and Bose Gases
We give a unified perspective on the properties of a variety of quantum liquids using the theory of quantum phase transitions. A central role is played by a zero density quantum critical point which is argued to control the properties of the dilute gas. An exact renormalization group analysis of such quantum critical points leads to a computation of the universal properties of the dilute Bose g...
متن کاملVortex liquids and vortex quantum Hall states in trapped rotating Bose gases
We discuss the feasibility of quantum Hall states of vortices in trapped low-density two-dimensional Bose gases with large particle interactions. For interaction strengths larger than a critical dimensionless 2D coupling constant gc ≈ 0.6, upon increasing the rotation frequency, the system is shown to spatially separate into vortex lattice and melted vortex lattice (vortex liquid) phases. At a ...
