Abstract

An imperfect spinless bose system is studied with use of the mixed state representation, which was originally developed to study highly excited nuclear states. With this representation, the degrees of freedom are classified into two types: One describes the thermal behaviour of the non-condensed boson and the other mainly describes the dynamical aspects of the condensed boson. The entropy of the system is specified by only the former type of degrees of freedom. Comparison is made with the conventional results for a dilute bose gas with an interaction of the hard sphere type.

Using the framework provided by the mixed state representation, we numerically study the thermal behavior of a spinless bose system with a short-range repulsive interaction. The main aim of this work is to elucidate the character of the transition from a condensed phase to a non-condensed phase in a homogeneous system. Under the approximation of dilute density, the transition appears to be first order. A consistent treatment gives rise to a second-order transition.

The thermal equilibrium state and elementary modes of excitation are investigated for a spinless boson system with a contact interaction. In a homogeneous infinite system, the elementary mode associated with the bose condensation with 0 momentum is automatically damped. In a semi-infinite cubic system, there appear bound states in the semi-infinite direction for a free end condition on the finite side and then two-dimensional modes with a phonon-like spectrum.

A pure squeezed coherent state is amalgamated with a mixed state for the purpose of describing bose condensation in an imperfect spinless boson system at non-zero temperature. Three types of variables are introduced: One describes the bose condensation, one describes the quantum fluctuations of a condensed pair induced by the interaction, and one describes the thermal properties. We define an entropy in association with the amalgamated state. Then, the thermal equilibrium state is defined through a variational principle with a fixed boson number and entropy.A pure squeezed coherent state is amalgamated with a mixed state for the purpose of describing bose condensation in an imperfect spinless boson system at non-zero temperature.

We apply the mixed state representation to the description of the thermal properties of the pairing model. We derive an extended form of the boson realization of the quasi-spin operators in a classical image. We introduce a density operator and entropy combined with the mixed state representation. Then we define a thermal equilibrium state with use of the variation principle. In this representation, the seniority number is specified by a distribution of the Fermi type as a function of temperature. We study the pairing collective modes that induce no change in the entropy.We apply the mixed state representation to the description of the thermal properties of the pairing model.

Imperfect Bose Gas with Hard-Sphere Interaction

Kerson Huang, Chongming Yang, J. M. Luttinger

The method developed in the previous paper for the treatment of the quantum-mechanical $N$ -body hard-sphere problem is applied to a calculation of the grand partition function of an imperfect Bose gas with hard-sphere interactions. The grand partition function is calculated to second order in an expansion in powers of $\frac{a}{\ensuremath{\lambda}}$, where $a$ is the hard-sphere diameter and $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ the thermal wavelength. The approximate equation of state for the gas phase is thereby obtained by calculating all the virial coefficients to order ${(\frac{a}{\ensuremath{\lambda}})}^{2}$.The first-order energy levels obtained in the previous paper embody some interesting physical properties. A fictitious system with exactly such energy levels is considered. The partition function for such a system can be calculated exactly and the exact equation of state obtained. It is shown that there is a phase transition, which more closely resembles an ordinary gas-liquid transition than the Bose-Einstein condensation.The method developed in the previous paper for the treatment of the quantum-mechanical $N$-body hard-sphere problem is applied to a calculation of the grand partition function of an imperfect Bose gas with hard-sphere interactions.

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. $\textit{Full-text embargoed until: 2026-01-01}$ Quantum systems consisting of many particles are both interesting from the physics and the mathematics perspective.
