Our group studies chemical reactions of ultracold Rb atoms in a state-to-state
resolved fashion, where we prepare reactants in well defined quantum states and
measure the quantum states of the molecular products. In particular, we focus on
three-body recombination where three atoms collide, forming a diatomic molecule.
The third atom carries away part of the binding energy. We are currently
investigating methods to gain control over this chemical reaction. By making use of

Abstract: In this talk, I’ll discuss a new framework to simulate the open dynamics of many-boson quantum systems. We use a superposition of squeezed-displaced states as a non-Gaussian state (NGS) ansatz. It is not restricted to a low excitation subspace, and can describe a variety of interesting quantum states (eg. squeezed cat states).
