21. The number of realizations required for convergence of g(2)(τ=1) ranged from 500 for case (iii) to 6×105 for case (i).
22. Our simulations use a 8th-9th order adaptive stepsize Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The cutoff energy Ecut was typically taken as the van der Waals energy of a pair of atoms at a distance rcut=rb0/2, Nmax was about 4-6. For case (i), we used rcut=0.38rb0. None of the results presented changed upon moderate variation of Ecut, Nmax, the time-step tolerance, or the cubic box dimension L.

24. To extrapolate, we simply scale the total atom number from 84 to 107. This assumes that the simulated cube gives a representative sample of the dynamics of a large homogenous atomic gas.
