Interesting fact: Chocolate Timeline:1824: John Cadbury, an English Quaker, begins roasting and grinding chocolate beans to sell in his tea and coffee shop. In 1842 Cadbury's Chocolate Company in England creates the first chocolate bar. 1875: A Swiss chocolate maker, Daniel Peter, mixes Henri Nestle's condensed milk with chocolate and the two men found a company to manufacture the first milk chocolate. 1894: Milton Hershey adds a line of chocolate to his caramel manufacturing business. Soon he invents the Hershey Bar by experimenting with milk chocolate. Hershey's Cocoa appears next. 1896: Leonard Hershfield invents the Tootsie Roll, named after his daughter. 1897: Brownies are first mentioned in print, listed for sale in the Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalogue. 1940: The Mars company invents M&M's for soldiers going to World War II.

Here we focus on the fact that the interesting regime of possible QMC condensation could not be reached with the above random matrix ensemble because of the following constraint: The QMC condensation regime requires Eav to be sufficiently close to the the ground state energy.
Quantum quenches with random matrix Hamiltonians and disordered potentials
In the present case, the condensation regime was not reached for most random matrix realizations, although a small minority of the realizations did exhibit it, implying the condensation precursor behavior similar to the one observed in Fig. 5 above Eav = −3.5.
Quantum quenches with random matrix Hamiltonians and disordered potentials
Once the condensation regime is reached, as in Figs. 4 and 6, the occupations of non-condensed states are very well describable by the QMC formula.

We generally note that in our range of drift velocities, longer time durations are not necessary since the moving disorder potential would try to bring the condensate too high up along the harmonic potential and thus the condensate would inevitably fall back at zf .

At those velocities, these fluctuations provoke the forward leading small portion of mass to buckle back towards the center of the condensate even though there is no much overall motion of the whole condensate.

An L = 0 condensate with two quasiholes is similar to an L = N condensate with one quasihole, and in the thermodynamic limit the L = N condensate with one vortex in the center is the ground state of the system at this angular momentum.
Quasihole dynamics as a detection tool for quantum Hall phases
In the condensed regime, the collapse of the quasihole is followed by a perfect revival, and the system oscillates between a condensed and a correlated state.
