Laser induced transitions between internal states of atoms have been playing a fundamental role to manipulate atomic clouds for many decades. In absence interactions each atom behaves independently and their coherent quantum dynamics is described by the Rabi model. Since experimental observation Bose condensation in dilute gases, static dynamical properties multicomponent gases extensively investigated. Moreover, at very low temperatures fluctuations crucially affect equation state many-body...

We systematically investigate the zero temperature phase diagram of bosons interacting via dipolar interactions in three dimensions free space path integral Monte Carlo simulations with few hundreds particles and periodic boundary conditions based on worm algorithm. Upon increasing strength interaction at sufficiently high densities we find a wide region where filaments are stabilized along direction external field. Most interestingly by computing superfluid fraction conclude that...

We investigate an ultracold and dilute Bose gas by taking into account a finite-range two-body interaction. The coupling constants of the resulting Lagrangian density are related to measurable scattering parameters following effective-field-theory approach. A perturbative scheme is then developed up Gaussian level, where both quantum thermal fluctuations crucially affected corrections. In particular, relation between spontaneous symmetry breaking onset superfluidity emphasized recovering...

We study cold dilute gases made of bosonic atoms, showing that in the mean-field one-dimensional regime they support stable out-of-equilibrium states. Starting from 3D Boltzmann-Vlasov equation with contact interaction, we derive an effective 1D Landau-Vlasov under condition a strong transverse harmonic confinement. investigate existence states, obtaining stability criteria similar to those classical plasmas.

We study the quantum tunneling of two one-dimensional quasi-condensates made alkali-metal atoms, considering different configurations: side-by-side and head-to-tail. After deriving quasiparticle excitation spectrum, we discuss dynamics relative phase following a sudden coupling independent subsystems. In particular, calculate coherence factor system, which, due to nonzero amplitude, it exhibits dephasing-rephasing oscillations instead pure dephasing. These are enhanced by higher energy,...

We present a field-theory description of ultracold bosonic atoms in the presence disordered external potential. By means functional integration techniques, we aim to investigate and review interplay between energy landscapes fluctuations, both thermal quantum ones. Within broken-symmetry phase, up Gaussian level approximation, disorder contribution crucially modifies condensate depletion superfluid response. Remarkably, it is found that ordered (i.e., superfluid) phase can be destroyed also...

In this brief report we discuss the action functional of a particle with damping, showing that it can be obtained from dissipative equation motion through modification which makes new invariant for time reversal symmetry. This is exactly effective Caldeira-Leggett model but, in our approach, derived without assumption weakly coupled to bath infinite harmonic oscillators.
