Thermalization of a quantum Newton's cradle in a one-dimensional quasicondensate
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the quantum Newton's cradle in a one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas in the weakly interacting quasicondensate regime. This is the opposite regime to the original quantum Newton's cradle experiment of [Kinoshita et al., Nature 440, 900 (2006)], which was realized in the strongly interacting 1D …
