Particle fluctuations in nonuniform and trapped Bose gases
The problem of particle fluctuations in arbitrary nonuniform systems with BoseEinstein condensate is considered. This includes the case of trapped Bose atoms. It is shown that the correct description of particle fluctuations for any nonuniform system of interacting atoms always results in thermodynamically normal fluctuations.
متن کاملNonequilibrium Bose systems and nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates
The theory of resonant generation of nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates is extended to Bose-condensed systems at finite temperature. The generalization is based on the notion of representative statistical ensembles for Bose systems with broken global gauge symmetry. Self-consistent equations are derived describing an arbitrary nonequilibrium nonuniform Bose system. The notion of finite-t...
متن کاملMethods for a Nonuniform Bose Gas
We review mathematical methods for the treatment of a system of Bose particles with nonuniform density. The use of the pseudopotential is explained, especially with respect to negative scattering lengths. It is emphasized that the delta-function potential produces no scattering in three dimensions, and should not be used in the Bogoliubov self-consistent field method, which is variational in na...
متن کاملThe Density Distribution of a Weakly Interacting Bose Gas in an External Potential*
Spin-polarized atomic hydrogen (H$) at densities less than or of order 1019 cm -3 is a weakly interacting Bose gas. 1 To stabilize the ato~ns against recombination into molecules requires a strong magnetic field. In practice the magnetic field is nonuniform and serves to confine the gas. 2'3 It is of interest, therefore, to study theoretically the behavior of a weakly interacting Bose gas in an...
