On coherence of Bose field.

چکیده
We study a system of interacting bosons at zero temperature in an atomic trap. Using wave function that models the ground state of interacting bosons we examine the concepts of the order parameter, off-diagonal order and coherence of the system. We suggest that the coherence length becomes much smaller than the size of the system if the number of trapped particles exceeds a certain limit. This behavior is related to the unavoidable existence of two different length scales -- one determined by the external potential and the second one depending on the two-body forces.

Bistability and macroscopic quantum coherence in a Bose-Einstein condensate of Li
We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate of Li in a situation where the density undergoes a symmetry breaking in real space. This occurs for a suitable number of condensed atoms in a double-well potential, obtained by adding a standing-wave light field to the trap potential. Evidence of bistability results from the solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. By second quantization, we show that th...
متن کاملMean-field model for Josephson oscillation in a Bose-Einstein condensate on an one-dimensional optical trap
Using the axially-symmetric time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation we study the phase coherence in a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped by a harmonic and an one-dimensional optical lattice potential to describe the experiment by Cataliotti et al. on atomic Josephson oscillation [Science 293, 843 (2001)]. The phase coherence is maintained after the BEC is set into oscillation by ...
متن کاملCoherent Molecular Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates
We analyze the coherent formation of molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from an atomic BEC, using a parametric field theory approach. We point out the transition between a quantum soliton regime, where atoms couple in a local way to a classical soliton domain, where a stable coupledcondensate soliton can form in three dimensions. This gives the possibility of an intense, stable atomlaser ...
متن کاملSe 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 ...

متن کاملVortex dynamics in high-Tc superconductors with sparse weak columnar defects
We have performed large-scale dynamical simulations on the current-driven three-dimensional frustrated anisotropic XY model with sparse weak columnar defects. Below the matching field, a moving Bose glass phase with superconducting coherence but without spatial order is observed at low temperatures. For very small columnar defect concentrations, a moving Bragg glass phase with both superconduct...
