Dissociation dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate of molecules
arXiv:cond-mat/0510584 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.72.063625
Abstract
An unstable condensate of diatomic molecules will coherently disassociate into correlated pairs of atoms. This dissociation process exhibits very rich quantum dynamics depending on the quantum statistics of the constituent atoms. We show that in the case of bosonic atoms Bose-enhancement can lead to stimulated dissociation, whereas, in the case of fermions Pauli-blocking of the available states and a build-up of coherence between molecules and atom pairs can give rise to incomplete dissociation of the molecules and transient association-dissociation oscillations.
