Quantum fluctuations in the time-dependent BCS-BEC crossover — •Bernhard M. Breid and James R. Anglin — Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany

We report our theoretical results on various aspects connected with the time-dependent formation of a molecular BEC out of an atomic BCS state by a slow Feshbach sweep at zero temperature. In order to solve for the systems dynamics, we apply a path integral approach using adiabatic approximations to solve for an effective action for the molecules. We are then in a position to address questions like the non-adiabatic production of quasi-particles during the sweep and the effect of different sweep rates.
