Phase space manipulations of many-body wavefunctions
arXiv:1409.3727 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.063616
Abstract
We explore the manipulation in phase space of many-body wavefunctions that exhibit self-similar dynamics, under the application of sudden force and/or in the presence of a constant acceleration field. For this purpose, we work out a common theoretical framework based on the Wigner function. We discuss squeezing in position space, phase space rotation and its implications in cooling for both non-interacting and interacting gases, and time reversal operation. We discuss various optical analogies and calculate the role of spherical-like aberration in cooling protocols. We also present the equivalent of a spin-echo technique to improve the robustness of velocity dispersion reduction protocols.
