Decoherence of phonons in weakly and strongly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensates
This work investigates the theoretical and experimental decoherence of phonons in weakly and strongly-interacting Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs). The theoretical analysis treats phonons as open quantum systems where the environment comprises all other quasi-particle modes of the BEC. The phonons...
