- Title: Coherent collisional decoherence
- Authors: Leonardo Badurina, Clara Murgui, Ryan Plestid
- Abstract summary: We study the decoherence of a system of $N$ non-interacting heavy particles (atoms) due to coherent scattering with a background gas.
We introduce a new framework for computing the induced phase shift and loss of contrast for arbitrary preparations of $N$-particle quantum states.
We find new phase shifts that are inherently $(Ngeq 2)$-body effects and may be searched for in future experiments.

- Abstract: We study the decoherence of a system of $N$ non-interacting heavy particles
(atoms) due to coherent scattering with a background gas. We introduce a new
framework for computing the induced phase shift and loss of contrast for
arbitrary preparations of $N$-particle quantum states. We find new phase shifts
that are inherently $(N\geq 2)$-body effects and may be searched for in future
experiments. We analyze simple setups, including a two-mode approximation of an
interferometer. We study fully entangled $N00N$ states, which resemble the
correlated positions in a matter interferometer, as well as totally
uncorrelated product states that are representative of a typical state in an
atom interferometer. We find that the extent to which coherent enhancements
increase the rate of decoherence depends on the observable of interest, state
preparation, and details of the experimental design.

Lattice Gauge Theory [0.0]
We study a simple gauge theory at half-filling, where U$(1)$ matter is coupled to gauge fields and interacts through NNpulsion.
We uncover a rich phase diagram where the local NN interaction stabilizes a Mott individual charges (or partons) on the one hand, and a Luttinger liquid of confined mesons on the other.
Our work is motivated by the recent progress in ultracold atom experiments, where such simple model could be readily implemented.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

We show that the source purity $mu_s$ is tightly bounded by the entanglement measure $E$ by the relation $mu_s=sqrt1-E2 $ and the visibility $V$ and detector fidelity $F$ determine the coherence of the quantons.
The quantitative complementarity of the double-path interferometer we developed recently is explained in terms of the quanton entanglement or quanton source purity.
