• Title: Dynamics of the unitary Bose gas near a narrow Feshbach resonance: universal coherent atom-molecule oscillations
• Authors: Ke Wang, Zhendong Zhang, Shu Nagata, Zhiqiang Wang, K. Levin,
• Abstract summary: We study a very narrow Feshbach resonance of $133$Cs atoms having a width of 8.3 mG. A rapid quench of an atomic condensate to unit leads to coherent oscillations involving dynamically produced condensed and non-condensed molecules and atoms. The same characteristic frequency, determined by the Feshbach coupling, is observed in all types of particles.

• Abstract: Quench experiments on a unitary Bose gas around a broad Feshbach resonance have led to the discovery of universal dynamics. This universality is manifested in the measured atomic momentum distributions where, asymptotically, a quasi-equilibrated metastable state is found in which both the momentum distribution and the time scales are determined by the particle density. In this paper we present counterpart studies but for the case of a very narrow Feshbach resonance of $^{133}$Cs atoms having a width of 8.3 mG. In dramatic contrast to the behavior reported earlier, a rapid quench of an atomic condensate to unitarity is observed to ultimately lead to coherent oscillations involving dynamically produced condensed and non-condensed molecules and atoms. The same characteristic frequency, determined by the Feshbach coupling, is observed in all types of particles. To understand these quench dynamics and how these different particle species are created, we develop a beyond Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov dynamical framework including a new type of cross correlation between atoms and molecules. This leads to a quantitative consistency with the measured frequency. Our results, which can be applied to the general class of bosonic superfluids associated with narrow Feshbach resonances, establish a new paradigm for universal dynamics dominated by quantum many-body interactions.

We map out both attractive and repulsive branches of polaron quasiparticles. For near-resonant interactions the polarons are no longer well defined, but the universality still holds.

  Efimov trimers are exotic three-body quantum states that emerge from the different types of three-body continua. We find that the $7$Li Efimov trimer does not immediately dissociate when passing the threshold. We identify this behavior with a universal phenomenon related to the emergence of a repulsive interaction in the atom-dimer channel.

We report a very pronounced and narrow (25 mG) Feshbach resonance in collisions between two ground state NaLi molecules.

We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
