Two-body correlations and natural orbital tomography in ultracold bosonic systems of definite parity

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The relationship between natural orbitals, one-body coherences and two-body correlations is explored for bosonic many-body systems of definite parity with two occupied single-particle states. We show that the strength of local two-body correlations at the parity-symmetry center characterizes the number state distribution and controls the structure of non-local two-body correlations. A recipe for the experimental reconstruction of the natural orbital densities and quantum depletion is derived. These insights into the structure of the many-body wave-function are applied to the predicted quantum-fluctuations induced decay of dark solitons.
