Quantum and thermal fluctuations of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
We quantize a semiclassical system defined by the Hamiltonian obtained from the asymptotic self-similar solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with a linear gain term. On the basis of a Schrödinger equation derived in a space of ellipsoidal parameters, we analytically calculate the quantum mechanical and thermal variance in the ellipsoidal parameters fo...
متن کاملClassical field simulations of thermal Bose-Einstein condensates
The aim of this project is to continue to develop and apply methods for describing the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates at finite temperature. The techniques being utilised are approximate; however they are aimed at performing non-perturbative calculations for realistic experimental systems. A focus for 2007 has been the dynamics of condensate formation using the stochastic Gross-Pitaevski...
متن کاملGrowth of Bose-Einstein condensates from thermal vapor.
We report on a quantitative study of the growth process of (87)Rb Bose-Einstein condensates. By continuous evaporative cooling we directly control the thermal cloud from which the condensate grows. We compare the experimental data with the results of a theoretical model based on quantum kinetic theory. We find quantitative agreement with theory for the situation of strong cooling, whereas in th...
متن کاملMultimode analysis of non-classical correlations in double-well Bose–Einstein condensates
The observation of non-classical correlations arising in two weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates was recently reported by Estève et al (2008 Nature 455 1216). In order to observe relative number fluctuations between the two condensates below the standard quantum limit, they utilized the process of ‘adiabatic passage’ to drive the system out of thermal equilibrium. They found that this redu...
متن کاملQuantum field effects in coupled atomic and molecular Bose-Einstein condensates
This paper examines the parameter regimes in which coupled atomic and molecular Bose-Einstein condensates do not obey the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Stochastic field equations for coupled atomic and molecular condensates are derived using the functional positive-P representation. These equations describe the full quantum state of the coupled condensates and include the commonly used Gross-Pitae...
متن کامل87Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensates: Machine Construction and Quantum Zeno Experiments
This thesis details construction of a new apparatus for the production of 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensates and a subsequent quantum Zeno effect experiment. An experimental apparatus for producing large Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb is described in detail. A high flux thermal atomic beam is decelerated by a Zeeman slower and is then captured and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The atoms are ...
