Correlated quantum dynamics of a single atom collisionally coupled to an ultracold finite bosonic ensemble

We explore the correlated quantum dynamics of a single atom, regarded as an open system, with a spatio-temporally localized coupling to a finite bosonic environment. The single atom, initially prepared in a coherent state of low energy, oscillates in a one-dimensional harmonic trap and thereby perio...
