Driving a 1D Bose Gas into Non-Equilibrium by Particle Losses — Anja Seegebrecht and •Carsten Henkel — Universität Potsdam, Institut für Physik und Astronomie

Low-dimensional Bose gases form a model system where comparison to a portfolio of theories (Lieb-Liniger, Luttinger liquid, stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation [1]) is possible. Being a nearly integrable system, long-lived non-equilibrium states appear while particles are lost [2]. We perform stochastic simulations for loss processes also involving 2-, or 3-body collisions. The thermometers we developed give different readings as the system evolves, that can be given heuristic interpretations and compared to experiments. Particular large discrepancies appear due to the “shot noise” that arises from the information gain due to particle loss [3].
