Central limit theorem for Bose gases interacting through singular potentials

Abstract

Abstract We consider a system ofNbosons in the limit $$N \rightarrow \infty $$ N→∞ , interacting through singular potentials. For initial data exhibiting Bose–Einstein condensation, the many-body time evolution is well approximated through a quadratic fluctuation dynamics around a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the condensate wave function. We show that these fluctuations satisfy a (multi-variate) central limit theorem.

Fluctuations of $N$-particle quantum dynamics around the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider a system of N bosons interacting through a singular two-body potential scaling with N and having the form N^{3\beta −1}V(N^{\beta }x) , for an arbitrary parameter \beta \in (0,1) . We provide a norm-approximation for the many-body evolution of initial data exhibiting Bose–Einstein condensation in terms of a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the condensate wave function and of a unitary Fock space evolution with a generator quadratic in creation and annihilation operators for the fluctuations.

Quantum fluctuations of many-body dynamics around the Gross–Pitaevskii equation

Cristina Caraci, Jakob Oldenburg, Benjamin Schlein

We consider the evolution of a gas of N bosons in the three-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii regime (in which particles are initially trapped in a volume of order one and interact through a repulsive potential with scattering length of order 1/N ). We construct a quasi-free approximation of the many-body dynamics, whose distance to the solution of the Schrödinger equation converges to zero, as N \to \infty , in the L^{2} (\mathbb{R}^{3N}) -norm. To achieve this goal, we let the Bose–Einstein condensate evolve according to a time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation. After factoring out the microscopic correlation structure, the evolution of the orthogonal excitations of the condensate is governed instead by a Bogoliubov dynamics, with a time-dependent generator quadratic in creation and annihilation operators. As an application, we show a central limit theorem for fluctuations of bounded observables around their expectation with respect to the Gross–Pitaevskii dynamics.

Dynamical and spectral properties of bose gases with singular interactions

Chiara Boccato

Bose-Einstein condensates have been experimentally realized in cold Bose gases for the first time in 1995.This discovery has renewed interest in the theory of interacting Bose gases; however, the mathematical understanding of Bose-Einstein condensation is still incomplete.In this thesis we derive effective theories for the dynamical and spectral properties of Bose gases.Our theoretical description is based on scaling regimes where the number of particles N becomes large and the two-body interaction potential scales as N 3β-1 V (N β •), for a fixed β ∈ (0, 1].The case β = 1 is known as Gross-Pitaevskii regime.Our first result concerns the time evolution of Bose-Einstein condensates after the trapping potential is removed.In previous works, it was shown that the many-body dynamics can be approximated by a one-body nonlinear Schrödinger equation at the level of reduced density matrices.We provide a more precise approximation of the time evolution: in a second-quantized setting, we construct a unitary effective dynamics, which, in the limit of large N , approximates the fully evolved state in Fock space norm.Our result comes with an explicit bound on the rate of convergence.It is valid for β < 1.Our second result addresses the properties of the ground state wave function.It has been shown before that the ground state wave function exhibits condensation in the limit N → ∞, i.e. the one-particle density matrix associated to the ground state approaches a projection.We prove the optimal bound for the convergence rate, for a translation invariant system.To do this, we estimate uniformly in N the number of excited particles.This result is valid for β = 1.Our last result concerns the ground state energy and the excitation spectrum of the translation invariant system.We prove the validity of Bogoliubov theory; this allows us to compute the ground state energy and the low-lying excitation spectrum up to an error that vanishes for large N .This result holds for β < 1.This thesis is based on the articles [11], [9] and [10].i

A Central Limit Theorem in Many-Body Quantum Dynamics

Gérard Ben Arous, Kay Kirkpatrick, Benjamin Schlein

We study the many body quantum evolution of bosonic systems in the mean field limit. The dynamics is known to be well approximated by the Hartree equation. So far, the available results have the form of a law of large numbers. In this paper we go one step further and we show that the fluctuations around the Hartree evolution satisfy a central limit theorem. Interestingly, the variance of the limiting Gaussian distribution is determined by a time-dependent Bogoliubov transformation describing the dynamics of initial coherent states in a Fock space representation of the system.

Multivariate central limit theorem in quantum dynamics

Simon Buchholz, Chiara Saffirio, Benjamin Schlein

We consider the time evolution of N bosons in the mean field regime for factorized initial data. In the limit of large N, the many body evolution can be approximated by the non-linear Hartree equation. In this paper we are interested in the fluctuations around the Hartree dynamics. We choose k self-adjoint one-particle operators O 1,…,O k on $L^{2} ({\mathbb{R}}^{3})$ , and we average their action over the N-particles. We show that, for every fixed $t \in{\mathbb{R}}$ , expectations of products of functions of the averaged observables approach, as N→∞, expectations with respect to a complex Gaussian measure, whose covariance matrix can be expressed in terms of a Bogoliubov transformation describing the dynamics of quantum fluctuations around the mean field Hartree evolution. If the operators O 1,…,O k commute, the Gaussian measure is real and positive, and we recover a "classical" multivariate central limit theorem. All our results give explicit bounds on the rate of the convergence.
