One-dimensional Bose gases with contact repulsive interactions are characterized by the presence of infinite-lifetime quasiparticles whose momenta are called the "rapidities." Here, we develop a probe of the local rapidity distribution, based on the fact that rapidities are the asymptotic momenta of the particles after a long one-dimensional expansion. This is done by performing an expansion of a selected slice of the gas.

Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the Lieb-Liniger gas initially prepared in an out-of-equilibrium state that is Gaussian in terms of the phonons, namely whose density matrix is the exponential of an operator quadratic in terms of phonon creation and annihilation operators. Because the phonons are not exact eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, the gas relaxes to a stationary state at very long times whose phonon population is a priori different from the initial one. Thanks to integrability, that stationary state needs not be a thermal state.

Background: In patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), induction of delta aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) leads to haem precursor accumulation that may cause recurring acute attacks. In a recent phase III trial, givosiran significantly reduced the attack rate in severe AIP patients. Frequent adverse events were injection-site reaction, fatigue, nausea, chronic kidney disease and increased alanine aminotransferase.

In quantum gases with contact repulsion, the distribution of momenta of the atoms typically decays as ∼1/|p|^{4} at large momentum p. Tan's relation connects the amplitude of that 1/|p|^{4} tail to the adiabatic derivative of the energy with respect to the coupling constant or scattering length of the gas. Here it is shown that the relation breaks down in the one-dimensional Bose gas with contact repulsion, for a peculiar class of stationary states.
