Abstract
Recent advances in optical Feshbach resonance technique have enabled the experimental investigation of atomic gases with time-dependent interaction. In this work, we study the many-body dynamics of weakly interacting bosons subject with an arbitrary time varying scattering length. By employing a variational ansatz, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that governs the dynamics of thermal particles. Crucially, we show that there exists a hidden symmetry in this Hamiltonian that can map the many-body dynamics to the precession of an SU(1,1) "spin". As a demonstration, we calculate the situation where the scattering length is sinusoidally modulated. We show that the non-compactness of the SU(1,1) group naturally leads to solutions with exponentially growth of Bogoliubov modes and causes instabilities.
