Talk by Yusuke Nishida on conformality, bulk viscosity, and contact correlation
16.10.2019 at 11:00
This talk is intended to present the interrelationship among conformality, bulk viscosity, and contact correlation, relevant to ultracold atom physics. I will first review the conformal invariance in nonrelativistic systems and its physical consequences on the breathing mode and the bulk viscosity [1]. In particular, the conformal invariance is useful to constrain how the spacetime-dependent scattering length enters hydrodynamics and it proves to naturally couple with the bulk viscosity [2]. This finding can also be derived microscopically by expressing the bulk viscosity in terms of the contact-contact correlation function, which allows us to evaluate the dynamic bulk viscosity systematically with the quantum virial expansion [3].
