Time-resolved density correlations as probe of squeezing in toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:1005.2645 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/12/9/095016
Abstract
I study the evolution of mean field and linear quantum fluctuations in a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate, whose interaction strength is quenched from a finite (repulsive) value to zero. The azimuthal equal-time density-density correlation function is calculated and shows temporal oscillations with twice the (final) excitation frequencies after the transition. These oscillations are a direct consequence of positive and negative frequency mixing during non-adiabatic evolution. I will argue that a time-resolved measurement of the equal-time density correlator might be used to calculate the moduli of the Bogoliubov coefficients and thus the amount of squeezing imposed on a mode, i.e., the number of atoms excited out of the condensate.
