description: Readme for 10.25405/data.ncl.12604721 The files are in MATLAB format, and the corresponding MATLAB scripts for Fig. 2, 4 to 11 are included (named by the *.m files). If there is any question/problem, please contact i-kang.liu1@newcastle.ac.uk. <br>p.s. The plotting code, “shadedErrorBarG”, is adopted from the code “shadedErrorBar” written by Rob Campbell, https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26311-raacampbell-shadederrorbar, with some minor modifications for this work and is attached for the uses of the appended plotting scirpts.<br>=========================================================================== * File Name: eqbm_data.matThis file contains the information for Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 9. The variables are listed below. Can be easily plotted by using fig_2_a_b.m and fig_9.mFor Fig. 2 (a): “TovTc” is T/T_c,0 where T_c,0 is the condensate transition temperature for ideal Bose gas; “dTovTc” is the deviation of T/T_c,0 due to the particle number deviation in the c-field simulation and is very small. “TovTc_expt” is the T/T_c,0 from experimental measurement; “f0” and “f0_expt” are the condensate fractions of simulation and experiment respectively. “dfc” is the deviation of condensate fraction from simulation; “mu” and “T” are the temperature change from -tau_Q to tau_Q for the background colour.For Fig. 9: “CbPO” and “Cb” are the Binder cumulants computed according to Eq. (A2) and (A1) respectively; “m_order” is the order parameter ; “lcoh” and “dlcoh” are the correlation length and it confidential upper/lower bound from the fit; “ldB” is the thermal de Broglie wavelength computed by the temperature, “T”.<br>===========================================================================<br>* File Name: dync_tauQ.mat “tauQ” are the quench durations considered in this work.<br>* File Name: fig_2_b_and_c.matContains the information for Fig. 2 (b) and (c). For Fig. 2 (b). “time_tc” are the time in t-t_c in ms for tau_Q=150 ms. “time_tc_eqbm” is the time axis for equilibrium data in t-t_c. “lcoh” and “dlcoh” are the correlation length and its standard deviation for tau_Q=150 ms. “lcoh_eqbm” and “dlcoh_eqbm” are the correlation length and its confidential bound for equilibrium data. “DeltaLcoh” and “dDeltaLcoh” are value of Eq. (15) and its errorbar.For Fig. 2(c): “t” is an 1 x 5 array with the time information; “x”, “y” and “z” are the spatial axes; “uPOt” contains 5 PO mode for the snapshots listed in “t”; “aho” is the length unit in meter.It can be easily plotted by the below matlab script for the isosurface plot. The purple line is the high velocity field region, please refer to Ref. [19] for detail. % ----- MATLAB PLOTTING SCRIPT ---- jj = 1, % number of snapshot from Fig. 2 (c) i to v. u = reshape(uPOt(jj,:),[length(y) length(x) length(z)]); [X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(x,y,z); figure, [faces,verts] = isosurface(X*aho*1e6,Y*aho*1e6,Z*aho*1e6,abs(u).^2,1000); patch('Vertices', verts, 'Faces', faces,'FaceColor','g','edgecolor', 'none','FaceAlpha',0.2); [faces,verts] = isosurface(X*aho*1e6,Y*aho*1e6,Z*aho*1e6,abs(u).^2,50); patch('Vertices', verts, 'Faces', faces,'FaceColor','y','edgecolor', 'none','FaceAlpha',0.125); view(3); axis xy equal; camlight head; lighting phong; xlim([-1 1] * 125); title(['t-t_c=' num2str(t(jj)-tc_factor*150) ' ms']) % The values, 1000 and 50, correspond to the green and yellow isosurface in the plots<br>===========================================================================<br>* File Name: dync_main.matThis file contains the most infomraiton of this work for Fig. 4, 5, 6, 8 and 11, including the momentum occupations, spatial densities and density wavefronts for 6 dynamical data.
