Generalized SU(1,1) coherent-state theory and quantum characteristics of a weakly interacting Bose system
Hongbin Huang
Abstract
We expand the Hamiltonian of a weakly interacting Bose system to second order in the Bose operators of the elementary excitations and use the mean-field approximation to linearize it. It is found that the dynamical algebra of the ``pairing'' approximated Hamiltonian is SU(1,1) algebra. By using the generalized SU(1,1) coherent-state theory we show that both the condensate states and the weakly excited states are generalized SU(1,1) coherent states. Based on these states, the quantum fluctuations and the second-order correlation functions of the Bose system are calculated and discussed.
