@phdthesis{3755, author = {John Corson}, title = {Dynamics of Quenched Ultracold Quantum Gases}, abstract = {

Recent advances in the tunability of ultracold atomic gases have created opportunities for\ studying interesting quantum many-body systems. Fano-Feshbach resonances, in particular, allow\ experimenters to freely adjust the scattering of atoms by controlling an external magnetic field.\ By rapidly changing this field near a resonance, it is possible to drive systems out of equilibrium\ towards novel quantum states where correlations between atoms change dynamically. In this thesis,\ we take a wave-function-based approach to theoretically examine the response of several interesting\ systems to suddenly-switched, or \textquotedblleftquenched,\textquotedblright interactions.
