Build-up of coherence between initially-independent subsystems: The case of Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:0712.3955 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2008.11.037
Abstract
When initially-independent subsystems are made to contact, {\it coherence} can develop due to interaction between them. We exemplify and demonstrate this paradigm through several scenarios of two initially-independent Bose-Einstein condensates which are allowed to collide. The build-up of coherence depends strongly on time, interaction strength and other parameters of each condensate. Implications are discussed.
