Momentum Distribution of a Dilute Unitary Bose Gas with Three-Body Losses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a combination of Boltzmann's equation and virial expansion, we study the effect of three-body losses and interactions on the momentum distribution of a homogeneous unitary Bose gas in the dilute limit where quantum correlations are negligible. The comparison of our results to the recent measurement made at JILA on a unitary gas of ^{85}Rb allows us to determine an experimental fugacity z=0.5(1).

Two-body and three-body contacts for identical Bosons near unitarity.
In a recent experiment with ultracold trapped Rb85 atoms, Makotyn et al. studied a quantum-degenerate Bose gas in the unitary limit where its scattering length is infinitely large. We show that the observed momentum distributions are compatible with a universal relation that expresses the high-momentum tail in terms of the two-body contact C2 and the three-body contact C3. We determine the cont...
متن کاملStability of a unitary Bose gas.
We study the stability of a thermal (39)K Bose gas across a broad Feshbach resonance, focusing on the unitary regime, where the scattering length a exceeds the thermal wavelength λ. We measure the general scaling laws relating the particle-loss and heating rates to the temperature, scattering length, and atom number. Both at unitarity and for positive a<<λ we find agreement with three-body theo...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of atoms in a uniform potential.
We have observed the Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas in the (quasi)uniform three-dimensional potential of an optical box trap. Condensation is seen in the bimodal momentum distribution and the anisotropic time-of-flight expansion of the condensate. The critical temperature agrees with the theoretical prediction for a uniform Bose gas. The momentum distribution of a noncondensed quan...
متن کاملProperties of a Dilute Bose Gas near Feshbach Resonance
In this paper, properties of a homogeneous Bose gas with Feshbach resonance are studied in the dilute region at zero temperature. In the stationary state, there are condensations of atoms and molecules. The ratio of the molecule density to the atom density is proportional to na. There are two types of excitations, molecular excitations and atomic excitations. Atomic excitations are gapless, con...
متن کاملGround State Energy of Dilute Bose Gas in Small Negative Potential Case 1 Ground State Energy of Dilute Bose Gas in Small Negative Potential Case
Abstract. It is well known that the ground state energy of a three dimensional dilute Bose gas in the thermodynamic limit is E = 4πaρN when the particles interact via a non-negative, finite range, symmetric, two-body potential. Here, N is the number of particles, ρ is the density of the gas, and a is the scattering length of the potential. In this paper, we prove the same result without the non...
