Ground State of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate in Two Dimensions; Beyond the Mean-field Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the ground state of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in two dimensions. In the mean-field approximation, the ground state density profile satisfies the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We compute the leading quantum corrections to the density profile to second order in an expansion around the Thomas-Fermi limit. By summing the ladder diagrams,we are generalizing Schick’s result for the ground state energy of a homogeneouns Bose gas to the case of a trapped Bose gas.

Time-Dependent Variational Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensation
We discuss the mean-field approximation for a trapped weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and its connection with the exact manybody problem by deriving the Gross-Pitaevskii action of the condensate. The mechanics of the BEC in a harmonic potential is studied by using a variational approach with time-dependent Gaussian trial wave-functions. In particular, we analyze the static con...
متن کاملSemiclassical Corrections to the Oscillation Frequencies of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate
The oscillation frequencies of collective excitations of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, when calculated in the mean-field approximation and in the Thomas-Fermi limit, are independent of the scattering length a. We calculate the leading corrections to the frequencies from quantum fluctuations around the mean field. The semiclassical correction is proportional to N1/5a6/5, where N is the num...
متن کاملSemiclassical Corrections to a Static Bose-Einstein Condensate at Zero Temperature
In the mean-field approximation, a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the condensate, or equivalently, by the hydrodynamic equations for the number density and the current density. These equations receive corrections from quantum field fluctuations around the mean field. We calculate the semiclassical corrections to these equat...
متن کاملOptimal quantum control of Bose-Einstein condensates in magnetic microtraps: Comparison of gradient-ascent-pulse-engineering and Krotov optimization schemes
We study optimal quantum control of the dynamics of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates: The targets are to split a condensate, residing initially in a single well, into a double well, without inducing excitation, and to excite a condensate from the ground state to the first-excited state of a single well. The condensate is described in the mean-field approximation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equatio...
متن کاملThe Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensate
We study the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field theory as applied to a two-dimensional finite trapped Bose gas at low temperatures and find that, in the Hartree-Fock approximation, the system can be described either with or without the presence of a condensate; this is true in the thermodynamic limit as well. We are unable to find condensate solutions when we consider a scheme that predicts the...
