Ideal Gases in Time-Dependent Traps

arXiv:cond-mat/9909164 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.61.061601

Abstract

We investigate theoretically the properties of an ideal trapped gas in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Using a scaling formalism, we are able to present simple analytical results for two important classes of experiments: free expansion of the gas upon release of the trap; and the response of the gas to a harmonic modulation of the trapping potential is investigated. We present specific results relevant to current experiments on trapped Fermions.
