In their recent paper [Nature Physics 15, 451 (2006)], Sakmann and Kasevich study the formation of fringe patterns in ultra-cold Bose gases and claim: `Here, we show how single shots can be simulated from numerical solutions of the time-dependent many-body Schr\"odinger equation.' It would be remarkable if they had solved this exponentially complex equation. Instead they solve nonlinear equations with the aim to approximate the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation. The authors proceed to criticize phase-space approaches to simulating quantum dynamics and claim the impossibility of interpreting single trajectories of the truncated Wigner (tW) method as single-shot experimental outcomes. Here we aim to provide relevant context and elaborate why we disagree with the authors' claims.

  1. Temperature driven false vacuum decay in coherently coupled Bose superfluids

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Simulated false-vacuum decay in 2D coupled Bose superfluids follows Γ∝e^{-βE_c}, with E_c extracted from the slope, and the relative phase becomes dynamic during bubble nucleation.
