Momentum distribution dynamics of a Tonks-Girardeau gas: Bragg   reflections of a quantum many-body wavepacket
  The dynamics of the momentum distribution and the reduced single-particle density matrix (RSPDM) of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas is studied in the context of Bragg-reflections of a many-body wavepacket. We find strong suppression of a Bragg-reflection peak for a dense TG wavepacket; our observation illustrates dependence of the momentum distribution on the interactions/wavefunction symmetry. The momentum distribution is calculated with a fast algorithm based on a formula expressing the RSPDM via a dynamically evolving single-particle basis.
