摘要
The effect of random magnetic fields on the dissociation of ultracold molecules with Feshbach resonances is studied analytically. The dissociation spectrum and the evolution of the molecule fraction are obtained for a general form of the magnetic-field ramp and different noise properties relevant to standard experimental conditions. The results uncover the robustness against noise of some characteristics of the dissociation process, in particular, of the dependence of the mean atomic kinetic energy on the system parameters. Implications for the applicability of a method proposed to determine the width of the Feshbach resonances from the measurement of the dissociation spectrum are analyzed. Moreover, we discuss how the presence of fluctuations can affect the use of particular ramp shapes to tailor the properties of the generated atomic distribution.
