Revealing the condensate and noncondensate distributions in the inhomogeneous Bose-Hubbard model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the condensate fraction and the condensate and noncondensate spatial and momentum distribution of the Bose-Hubbard model in a trap. From our results, it is evident that using approximate distributions can lead to erroneous experimental estimates of the condensate. Strong interactions cause the condensate to develop pedestal-like structures around the central peak that can be mistaken as noncondensate atoms. Near the transition temperature, the peak itself can include a significant noncondensate component. Using distributions generated from quantum Monte Carlo simulations, experiments can map their measurements for higher accuracy in identifying phase transitions and temperature.

Hydrodynamics of Superfluid Bose Gases in an Optical Lattice at Finite Temperatures
Starting from an effective action for the order parameter field, we derive a coupled set of generalized hydrodynamic equations for a Bose condensate in an optical lattice at finite temperatures. Using the linearized hydrodynamic equations, we study the microscopic mechanism of the Landau instability due to the collisional damping process between condensate and noncondensate atoms. It is shown t...
متن کاملTwo-Fluid Hydrodynamics in Trapped Bose Gases and in Superfluid Helium
A review is given of recent theoretical work on the superfluid dynamics of trapped Bose gases at finite temperatures, where there is a significant fraction of non-condensate atoms. One can now reach large enough densities and collision cross-sections needed to probe the collective modes in the collisiondominated hydrodynamic region where the gas exhibits characteristic superfluid behavior invol...

We rely on a variational approach to derive a set of equations governing a trapped self-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature. In this work, we analyze the static situation both at zero and finite temperature in the Thomas-Fermi limit. We derive simple analytic expressions for the condensate properties at finite temperature. The noncondensate and anomalous density profiles are also analyze...
متن کاملMany-body physics in the classical-field description of a degenerate Bose gas
The classical-field formalism has been widely applied in the calculation of normal correlation functions, and the characterization of condensation, in finite-temperature Bose gases. Here we discuss the extension of this method to the calculation of more general correlations, including the so-called anomalous correlations of the field, without recourse to symmetry-breaking assumptions. Our metho...
متن کاملin trapped Bose gases
We study the dynamics of condensate formation in an inhomogeneous trapped Bose gas with a positive interatomic scattering length. We take into account both the nonequilibrium kinetics of the thermal cloud and the Hartree-Fock mean-field effects in the condensed and the noncondensed parts of the gas. We solve our equations numerically by assuming that the thermal component behaves ergodically an...
