• Abstract summary: We present an approximate variational model that provides rapid approximate solutions of the rotating-frame Gross--Pitaevskii equation for a power-law potential. We derive the equations of motion of the variational parameters for this model and illustrate how the model can be applied to the sequence of steps in a recent AI experiment.

• Abstract: Recent atom interferometry (AI) experiments involving Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) have been conducted under extreme conditions of volume and interrogation time. Numerical solution of the standard mean-field theory applied to these experiments presents a nearly intractable challenge. We present an approximate variational model that provides rapid approximate solutions of the rotating-frame Gross--Pitaevskii equation for a power-law potential. This model is well-suited to the design and analysis of AI experiments involving BECs that are split and later recombined to form an interference pattern. We derive the equations of motion of the variational parameters for this model and illustrate how the model can be applied to the sequence of steps in a recent AI experiment where BECs were used to implement a dual-Sagnac atom interferometer rotation sensor. We use this model to investigate the impact of finite-size and interaction effects on the single-Sagnac-interferometer phase shift.

  Collective modes are coherent excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) They can be used to probe the properties of BECs, such as the trap geometry, the interatomic interactions, and the presence of defects. We propose a method to achieve a better resolution than the Rabi-like protocol, which consists of two oscillating fields separated in time.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

  The interaction of an ensemble of $N$ two-level atoms with a single mode electromagnetic field is described by the Tavis-Cummings model. Here, we show that this is only justified if the effective scattering rate into non-cavity modes is negligible. We show that the predictions of our model can differ quantitatively and even qualitatively from those obtained with the Tavis-Cummings model.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

In fact, the interplay between CSL-induced diffusion and dispersive atom-atom interactions results in an amplified sensitivity of the condensate to CSL.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
