## Abstract

We derive a stochastic process that describes the kinetics of a one-dimensional Bose gas in a regime where three body collisions are important. In this situation the system becomes non integrable offering the possibility to investigate dissipative phenomena more simply compared to higher dimensional gases. Unlike the quantum Boltzmann equation describing the average momentum distribution, the stochastic approach allows a description of higher-order correlation functions in a canonical ensemble. As will be shown, this ensemble differs drastically from the grand canonical one. We illustrate the use of this method by determining the time evolution of the momentum mode particle number distribution and the static structure factor during the evaporative cooling process.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
