Abstract

The paper considers a model for Bose gases in the so-called 'high-temperature range' below the temperature Tc, where Bose-Einstein condensation sets in.The model is of non-linear two-component type, consisting of a kinetic equation with periodic boundary conditions for the distribution function of a gas of excitations interacting with a Bose condensate, which is described by a Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Results on well-posedness and long time behaviour are proved in a H1-setting close to equilibrium.

Excitations and phase segregation in a two component Bose-Einstein condensate

A. S. Alexandrov, V. V. Kabanov

Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations and the excitation spectrum of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) are derived with an arbitrary interaction between bosons, including long-range and short range forces. The nonconverting BEC mixture segregates into two phases for some two-body interactions. Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations are solved for the phase segregated BEC. A possibility of boundary-surface and other localised excitations is studied.

Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Properties of Dilute Bose Gases

Oldenburg, Jakob Felix

Quantum systems consisting of many particles are both interesting from the physics and the mathematics perspective. One aspect that makes them fascinating from the physics point of view is that they can exhibit quantum effects on macroscopic scales such as Bose-Einstein condensation. This phenomenon, first predicted 100 years ago by Bose [19] and Einstein [44], occurs when a dilute gas of bosons is cooled down to very low temperatures. Below a certain critical temperature a condensate forms, meaning that a macroscopic fraction of the particles is in the same one-particle state, and thus, quantum phenomena become relevant on length scales much larger than the individual atom. The occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation is also related to superfluidity as suggested in [88]. Bose-Einstein condensation has been achieved experimentally independently by the groups of Cornell and Wieman [3] and Ketterle [40] earning them a Nobel prize in 2001. While Bose and Einstein analyzed theoretically the non-interacting gas, an effective theory describing weakly interacting Bose gases was proposed by Bogoliubov in 1947 with the goal of explaining the occurrence of superfluidity in liquid helium [18]. Using assumptions such as that condensation indeed occurs, his theory yields predictions for the low-energy states of the system. Seen from the mathematics perspective, describing the Bose gas is an interesting challenge due to the strong correlations between particles introduced by the interaction making this case much harder to study than the non-interacting one. In particular, a proof that Bose-Einstein condensation occurs in the thermodynamic limit for continuous systems is still out of reach. However, there has been a lot of work regarding the rigorous analysis of bosonic systems in various relevant regimes. This thesis contains three new contributions establishing rigorous results on bosonic systems in different, physically relevant settings. It is based on the articles [37, 27, 31]. The first result concerns the time-evolution of initially trapped Bose gases in the ultra-dilute Gross-Pitaevskii regime. Under some assumptions on the initial data satisfied in particular by a class of states that are expected to approximate the ground state in a trap, we derive a quasi-free approximation that is close to the true solution in $L^2$-norm. In particular, we show that this approximate wave function is described in terms of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-particle state following the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation together with pair excitations with respect to this condensate. As a corollary, we establish a central limit theorem for bounded one-particle observables. The second result is a simple proof of Bose-Einstein condensation for interacting, ultra-dilute gases. More specifically, we consider scalings interpolating between the Gross-Pitaevskii regime and the thermodynamic limit. While condensation had been shown to hold in these regimes before, the advantage of the method used here is its simplicity. Lastly, the third result establishes an upper bound on the ground state energy of a dilute Bose gas in the thermodynamic limit. It captures rigorously the third order correction to the energy per unit volume for sufficiently low densities as predicted in the physics literature first by Wu and subsequently others. $\textit{Full-text embargoed until: 2026-01-01}$

Stability and collective excitations of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensed gas: A moment approach

Thomas Busch, J. I. Cirac, Víctor M. Pérez‐García +1 more

The dynamics of a two-component dilute Bose-Einstein gas of atoms at zero temperature is described in the mean-field approximation by a two-component Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We solve this equation assuming a Gaussian shape for the wave function, where the free parameters of the trial wave function are determined using a moment method. We derive equilibrium states and the phase diagrams for the stability for positive and negative $s$-wave scattering lengths, and obtain the low-energy excitation frequencies corresponding to the collective motion of the two Bose-Einstein condensates.

The Cauchy problem and BEC stability for the quantum Boltzmann-Condensation system for bosons at very low temperature

Ricardo J. Alonso, Irene M. Gamba, Minh-Binh Tran

We study a quantum Boltzmann-Condensation system that describes the evolution of the interaction between a well formed Bose-Einstein condensate and the quasi-particles cloud. The kinetic model is valid for a dilute regime at which the temperature of the gas is very low compared to the Bose-Einstein condensation critical temperature. In particular, our system couples the density of the condensate from a Gross-Pitaevskii type equation to the kinetic equation through the dispersion relation in the kinetic model and the corresponding transition probability rate from pre to post collision momentum states. We rigorously show the following three properties (1) the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the system in the case of a radially symmetric initial configuration, (2) find qualitative properties of the solution such as instantaneous creation of exponential tails and, (3) prove the uniform condensate stability related to the initial mass ratio between condensed particles and quasi-particles. The stability result from (3) leads to global in time existence of the initial value problem for the quantum Boltzmann-Condensation system.

Collision Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates

Aaron Wirthwein, Stephan Haas, Sheng‐wey Chiow

We study the collision dynamics of two Bose-Einstein condensates with their dynamical wave functions modeled by a set of coupled, time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Beginning with an effective one-dimensional system, we identify regimes characterized by the relationship between inter- and intra-atomic interactions and the initial configuration of the system, akin to the equilibrium phase diagram of two interacting Bose condensates. We consider a dynamical setup in which two wave packets are initially at rest with a small separation about the center of an asymmetric harmonic trap. Upon release, we observe a rapid approach to dynamical equilibrium in the limits of very large and very small inter-particle repulsion, characterized by periodic transmission or reflection of the condensates as distinguishable units, whereas the intermediate, critical regime is characterized by extended transient dynamics, density fracturing, and dynamical mixing. We therefore have reason to believe that non-trivial behavior may exist during the collisions of Bose-Einstein condensates as a result of their non-linear interactions, and these effects may be observable in a suitable laboratory environment.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Long-Range Interactions

G. Wunner, Holger Cartarius, Tomaž Fabčič +3 more

Abstract. The motto of this paper is: Let's face Bose-Einstein condensation through nonUnear dynamics. We do this by choosing variational forms of the condensate wave functions (of given symmetry classes), which convert the Bose-Einstein condensates via the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation into Hamiltonian systems that can be studied using the methods of nonUnear dynamics. We consider in particular cold quantum gases where long-range interactions between the neutral atoms are present, in addition to the conventional short-range contact interaction, viz. gravity-Uke interactions, and dipole-dipole interactions. The residts obtained serve as a useful giude in the search for nonlinear dynamics effects in numerically exact quantum calcinations for Bose-Einstein condensates. A main residt is the prediction of the existence of stable islands as well as chaotic regions for excited states of dipolar condensates, which coidd be checked experimentally.
