Fast frictionless dynamics as a toolbox for low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

arXiv:1010.2854 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/96/60005

Abstract

A method is proposed to implement a fast frictionless dynamics in a low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate by engineering the time-dependence of the transverse confining potential in a highly anisotropic trap. The method exploits the inversion of the dynamical self-similar scaling law in the radial degrees of freedom. We discuss the application of the method to preserve short-range correlations in time of flight experiments, the implementation of nearly-sudden quenches of non-linear interactions, and its power to assist self-similar dynamics in quasi-one dimensional condensates.
