Title: Quantum dynamics in phase space: from coherent states to the Gaussian representation
Author(s): Drummond, P. D.; Deuar, P.; Vaughan, Timothy G.; Corney, J. F.
Abstract: We give an outlook on the future of coherence theory and many-body quantum dynamics as experiments develop in the arena of ultra-cold atoms. Novel results on quantum heating of centre-of-mass temperature in evaporative cooling and simulation methods for long-range interactions are obtained, using positive-P phase-space techniques.
