Decay of symmetry-protected quantum states

Decay of symmetry-protected quantum states

We study the decay of bosonic many-body states in the three well Bose-Hubbard chain where bosons in the central well can escape into a reservoir. For vanishing inter-particle interaction this system supports a non-decaying many-body state which is the antisymmetric Bose-Einstein condensate with particles occupying only the edge wells. In …
