چکیده

Recent experiments with trapped cooled atoms have produced evidences for Bose-Einstein condensation. Among the atoms used are 7 Li ones, with attractive low energy interaction. Stability of their condensate is studied, with a conclusion that for a number of atoms below the critical value there exist a metastable minimum, separated from collapse by a potential barrier. The lifetime due to tunneling is estimated: it is unlikely to happen in the present experiment. Although in experimental conditions most of the atoms are not in the condensate, we argue that they only slightly affect the stability conditions for the condensate evaluated at T=0.

We have measured the relative phase of two Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) using a time-domain separated-oscillatory-field condensate interferometer. A single two-photon coupling pulse prepares the double condensate system with a well-defined relative phase; at a later time, a second pulse reads out the phase difference accumulated between the two condensates. We find that the accumulated phase...

Recent experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb atoms near a Feshbach resonance have produced evidence for a condensate of diatomic molecules coexisting with the atom condensate. It should also be possible to create condensates of the triatomic molecules predicted by Efimov coexisting with the atom and dimer condensates. The smoking gun for the trimer condensate would be oscillatory dep...

We examine the spin-reflection positivity of the ground state of the Kondo lattice model at half-filling with the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange couplings J = 0. For every positive U > 0, where U is the Coulomb interaction between the conduction electrons, we can show that the ground state is unique.

Recent experimental measurements of atomic intensity correlations through atom shot noise suggest that atomic quadrature phase correlations may soon be measured with a similar precision. We propose a test of local realism with mesoscopic numbers of massive particles based on such measurements. Using dissociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of diatomic molecules into bosonic atoms, we demonstr...
