Abstract

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamical properties of a weakly-interacting Bose gas at zero temperature under the multi-pulsed quantum quench in interaction by calculating one-body, two-body correlation functions and Tan's contact of the model system. The multi-pulsed quench is represented as follows: first suddenly quenching the interatomic interaction from gig_{i} to gfg_{f} at time t=0t=0, holding time tt, and then suddenly quenching interaction from gfg_{f} back to gig_{i}, holding the time tt sequence nn times. In particular, two typical kinds of quenching parameters are chosen, corresponding to (gi/gf>1)(g_{i}/g_{f}>1) and (gi/gf<1)(g_{i}/g_{f}<1) respectively. We find that the more the quenching times of nn are, the more the excitations are excited, which suggests that the multi-pulsed QQ is more powerful way of studying the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body quantum system than the `one-off' quantum quench. Finally, we discuss the ultra-short-range properties of the two-body correlation function after the nnth quenching, which can be used to probe the `Tan'scontact' in experiments. All our calculations can be tested in current cold atom experiments.
