We investigate the dissipative dynamics of bosonic quantum gases, beyond the mean-field approximation. To this end we use a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice subject to localized particle dissipation and phase noise. Our starting point is the full many-body dynamics, which is described by a master equation. We use this equation to derive the generalized mean-field and Bogoliubov backreaction approximations. The second method is taking into account higher-order correlation functions, so it gives a much better simulation of the many-body dynamics than the mean-field approach. As it will be shown the localized particle dissipation leads to surprising dynamics, since it can suppress the decay and restore the coherence of a Bose-Einstein condensate.
