Non-equilibrium dynamics of the Bose gas
These papers address the following question: if a Bose gas is suddenly
quenched to a temperature below its critical temperature, how does its
condensate fraction grow with time ? We make a connection of this problem
to theory of coarsening in statistical mechanics. We identify a
universal critical exponent associated with rate of condensate growth and
estimate its value by numerical simulations.
Paper 4 also deals with the restoration of phase coherence, but after a zero
temperature `quantum' quench
i.e. in a Mott insulator which the boson amplitude is suddenly increased.
