Analytical Method for Yrast Line States in Interacting Bose-Einstein Condensates
Ying Wu, Xiaoxue Yang, Yi Xiao
Abstract
We propose a method to investigate the energy eigenvalue problem and corresponding yrast line for harmonically trapped interacting N-boson systems. This method is particularly simple and effective to obtain the explicit analytical expressions of low-L energy eigenstates with L denoting systems' total angular momentum but with an arbitrarily large N. We have derived the explicit analytical results for L = 0,1,....,9 and discussed the yrast line for these low- L energy eigenstates.
