Abstract: We revisit the classic Joule-expansion experiments, now with a quantum-degenerate atomic Bose gas. In contrast to the classical-gas experiments, where no temperature change was measured, here we observe both cooling and heating effects, which arise, respectively, due to quantum statistics and inter-particle interactions. Our observations are reproduced in numerical calculations within the Hartree-Fock approximation.

Divergence of thermalization rates driven by the competition between finite temperature and quantum coherence [10.256367888517563]
We observe a divergence of thermalization rates of quantum matters when the temperature approaches zero. We find that the quantum coherence and bosonic stimulation of superfluid induces the divergence while the finite temperature and the many-body interactions are suppressing the divergence.

Quantum Effects on the Synchronization Dynamics of the Kuramoto Model [62.997667081978825]
We show that quantum fluctuations hinder the emergence of synchronization, albeit not entirely suppressing it. We derive an analytical expression for the critical coupling, highlighting its dependence on the model parameters.

Microcanonical and Canonical Fluctuations in Bose-Einstein Condensates -- Fock state sampling approach [0.0]
The fluctuations of the atom number between a Bose-Einstein condensate and the surrounding thermal gas have been the subject of a long standing theoretical debate. Here we introduce the so-called Fock state sampling method to solve this classic problem of current experimental interest for weakly interacting gases. A suppression of the predicted peak fluctuations is observed when using a microcanonical with respect to a canonical ensemble. Moreover, interactions lead to a shift of the temperature of peak fluctuations for harmonically trapped gases.

Demonstrating Quantum Microscopic Reversibility Using Coherent States of Light [58.8645797643406]
We propose and experimentally test a quantum generalization of the microscopic reversibility when a quantum system interacts with a heat bath. We verify that the quantum modification for the principle of microscopic reversibility is critical in the low-temperature limit.

Experimental observation of thermalization with noncommuting charges [53.122045119395594]
Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

Analog cosmological reheating in an ultracold Bose gas [58.720142291102135]
We quantum-simulate the reheating-like dynamics of a generic cosmological single-field model in an ultracold Bose gas. Expanding spacetime as well as the background oscillating inflaton field are mimicked in the non-relativistic limit. The proposed experiment has the potential of exploring the evolution up to late times even beyond the weak coupling regime.
