On the Thomas-fermi Approximation for Bose Condensates in Traps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thomas-Fermi theory for Bose condesates in inhomogeneous traps is revisited. The phase-space distribution function in the Thomas-Fermi limit is f0(R,p) α δ(μ −Hcl) where Hcl is the classical counterpart of the self-consistent GrossPitaevskii Hamiltonian. No assumption on the large N-limit is introduced and, e.g the kinetic energy is found to be in good agreement with the quantal results even for low and intermediate particle numbers N. The attractive case yields conclusive results as well.

Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates in Partially Anisotropic Traps
1 Abstract — Zusammenfassung We study three-dimensional rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates in a theoretical context. The main results are lower and upper bounds on the Gross-Pitaevskii energy of the dilute Bose gas in the Thomas-Fermi limit. Similar results were already obtained for strongly anharmonic external potentials in 2D [CRDY07b, CY08] and homogeneous external potentials in 2D [...
متن کاملSelf-Gravitating Bose-Einstein Condensates and the Thomas-Fermi Approximation
Abstract: Self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) have been proposed in various astrophysical contexts, including Bose-stars and BEC dark matter halos. These systems are described by a combination of the Gross-Pitaevskii and Poisson equations (the GPP system). In the analysis of these hypothetical objects, the Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximation is widely used. This approximation is based ...

We present a theoretical model to describe the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in anharmonic trapping potentials. To first approximation the center-of-mass motion is separated from the internal condensate dynamics and the problem is reduced to the well known scaling solutions for the Thomas-Fermi radii. We discuss the validity of this approach and analyze the model for an anharmonic waveg...

Collective excitations of trapped binary mixtures of Bose-condensed gases
The linearised time dependent coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations describing the long wavelength excitations of Bose-condensed binary mixtures are solved, in the bulk and in harmonic traps for the case where only the binary phase is present. In the former case we obtain two zero-sound branches In the latter case the dispersion law also contains two branches whose dependence on the quantum number...
