Principal problems in Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases

Bose - Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases 1

We summarize all experimental studies of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in dilute atomic gases reported thus far and discuss the experimental techniques used to produce, manipulate and observe nanokelvin samples of atoms.

Bose–Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gases

Se p 20 01 Bose - Einstein Condensation of Trapped Atomic Gases

This article reviews recent investigations on the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases. Since the experimental observation of quantum degeneracy in atomic gases, the research activity in the field of coherent matter-waves literally exploded. The present topical review aims to give an introduction into the thermodynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation, a general overview over ...

Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Atomic Gases

The material presented here consists of lecture notes written for a five two-hour sections course given during the 2004 edition of the Brazilian School on Statistical Mechanics. The topics covered are 1. Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped ideal gases; 2. Effective two-body interactions and exact results in the Gross-Pitaevski limit; 3. Atomic structure effects, including “Feshbach resonances...

This article surveys a number of theoretical problems and open questions in the field of two-dimensional dilute Bose gases with weak repulsive interactions. In contrast to three dimensions, in two dimensions the formation of long-range order is prohibited by the Bogoliubov-Hohenberg theorem, and Bose-Einstein condensation is not expected to be realized. Nevertheless, the first experimental indi...
