"Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates in Optical Cavities"

ABSTRACT:

Motivated by recent experiments observing self-organization of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical cavities we investigate the collective dynamics of the associated non-equilibrium Dicke model. We find a rich phase diagram including distinct superradiant fixed points, co-existence phases, and regimes of persistent oscillations. We explore the intrinsic timescales for observing these novel phases and discuss the implications for finite duration experiments.
