Quantum thermodynamics of integrable and near-integrable atomic systems
Quantum thermodynamics of integrable and near-integrable atomic systems
In this thesis, we explore various aspects of equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics for ultracold atomic gases, with a focus on the experimentally realisable one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas. This is a paradigmatic example of an interacting many-body system, which is integrable in the uniform limit and near-integrable otherwise. We first investigate …
