Quantum dynamics in phase space: From coherent states to the Gaussian representation

Other Condensed Matter 2017-07-12 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We give an outlook on the future of coherence theory and many-body quantum dynamics as experiments develop in the arena of ultra-cold atoms. Novel results on quantum heating of center-of-mass temperature in evaporative cooling and simulation methods for long-range interactions are obtained, using positive-P phase-space techniques.
