Many-particle interference in the dynamics of bosonic mixtures — •Gabriel Dufour1,2, Tobias Brünner1, Alberto Rodríguez1, and Andreas Buchleitner1 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg — 2Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
We present a general framework to study the effect of many-particle interference on the dynamics of partially distinguishable bosons [1]. We start by showing how observables can be classified according to the order of the interference processes to which they are sensitive. In non-interacting systems, expectation values of single-particle observables are insensitive to the mutual indistinguishability of the particles, whereas those of two-particle observables show a clear signature of two-body interference processes. In interacting systems, however, the distinguishability of the initial Fock state also affects the expectation value of single-particle observables because of interaction-induced interference [2].
