Conserving and gapless Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory for the three-dimensional dilute Bose gas

Abstract

The excitation spectrum for the three-dimensional Bose gas in the Bose-Einstein condensation phase is calculated nonperturbatively with the modified Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory, which is both conserving and gapless. From improved $\ensuremath{\Phi}$-derivable theory, the diagrams needed to preserve the Ward-Takahashi identity are re-summed in a systematic and nonperturbative way. It is valid up to the critical temperature where the dispersion relation of the low-energy excitation spectrum changes from linear to quadratic. Because including the higher-order fluctuation, the results show significant improvement on the calculation of the shift of critical temperature with other conserving and gapless theories.

Conserving and Gapless Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory for 3D dilute Bose gas at finite temperature

Ya-Hui Zhang, Dingping Li

The energy spectrum for the three dimensional Bose gas in Bose-Einstein Condensation phase is calculated with Modified Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory, which is both conserving and gapless. From Improved $Φ-$% derivable theory, the diagrams needed to preserve Ward-Takahashi Identity are resummed in a systematic and nonperturbative way. The results show significant discrepancies with Popov theory at finite temperature. It is valid up to the critical temperature where the dispersion relation of the low energy excitation spectrum changes from linear to quadratic. Because of the repulsive interaction, the critical temperature has a positive shift from that of idea gas, which is in accordance with the result from the previous calculations in the uncondensed phase.

Conserving and gapless approximations for an inhomogeneous Bose gas at finite temperatures

Adam Griffin

We derive and discuss the equations of motion for the condensate and its fluctuations for a dilute, weakly interacting Bose gas in an external potential within the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation. Account is taken of the depletion of the condensate and the anomalous Bose correlations, which are important at finite temperatures. We give a critical analysis of the self-consistent HFB approximation in terms of the Hohenberg-Martin classification of approximations (conserving vs gapless) and point out that the Popov approximation to the full HFB gives a gapless single-particle spectrum at all temperatures. The Beliaev second-order approximation is discussed as the spectrum generated by functional differentiation of the HFB single-particle Green's function. We emphasize that the problem of determining the excitation spectrum of a Bose-condensed gas (homogeneous or inhomogeneous) is difficult because of the need to satisfy several different constraints.

Theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas

Jens O. Andersen

This article reviews recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective-field-theory methods are used to formulate a systematic perturbative framework that can be used to calculate the properties of a system at $T=0.$ The perturbative expansion of these properties is essentially an expansion in the gas parameter $\sqrt{{\mathrm{na}}^{3}},$ where $a$ is the $s$-wave scattering length and $n$ is the number density. In particular, the leading quantum corrections to the ground-state energy density, the condensate depletion, and long-wavelength collective excitations are rederived in an efficient and economical manner. Nonuniversal effects are also discussed. These effects are higher-order corrections that depend on properties of the interatomic potential other than the scattering length, such as the effective range. The article critically examines various approaches to the dilute Bose gas in equilibrium at finite temperature. These include the Bogoliubov approximation, the Popov approximation, the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, the \ensuremath{\Phi}-derivable approach, optimized perturbation theory, and renormalization-group techniques. The article ends with a look at recent calculations of the critical temperature of the dilute Bose gas, which include $1/N$ techniques, lattice simulations, self-consistent calculations, and variational perturbation theory.

A gapless theory of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases at finite temperature

S. A. Morgan

In this paper we develop a gapless theory of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) which can be applied to both trapped and homogeneous gases at zero and finite temperature. The starting point for the theory is the second quantized, many-body Hamiltonian for a system of structureless bosons with pairwise interactions. A number-conserving approach is used to rewrite this Hamiltonian in a form which is approximately quadratic with higher-order cubic and quartic terms. The quadratic part of the Hamiltonian can be diagonalized exactly by transforming to a quasiparticle basis, while requiring that the condensate satisfy the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The non-quadratic terms are assumed to have a small effect and are dealt with using first- and second-order perturbation theory. The conventional treatment of these terms, based on factorization approximations, is shown to be inconsistent. Infrared divergences can appear in individual terms of the perturbation expansion, but we show analytically that the total contribution beyond quadratic order is finite. The resulting excitation spectrum is gapless and the energy shifts are small for a dilute gas away from the critical region, justifying the use of perturbation theory. Ultraviolet divergences can appear if a contact potential is used to describe particle interactions. We show that the use of this potential as an approximation to the two-body T -matrix leads naturally to a high-energy renormalization. The theory developed in this paper is therefore well defined at both low and high energy and provides a systematic description of BEC in dilute gases. It can therefore be used to calculate the energies and decay rates of the excitations of the system at temperatures approaching the phase transition.

Collective excitations of a dilute Bose gas at finite temperature: time dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory

Abdelâali Boudjemâa, Nadia Guebli

Abstract Using the time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov approach, where the condensate is coupled with the thermal cloud and the anomalous density, we study the equilibrium and the dynamical properties of three-dimensional quantum-degenerate Bose gas at finite temperature. Effects of the anomalous correlations on the condensed fraction and the critical temperature are discussed. In uniform Bose gas, useful expressions for the Bogoliubov excitations spectrum, the first and second sound, the condensate depletion and the superfluid fraction are derived. Our results are tested by comparing the findings computed by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present also a systematic investigation of the collective modes of a Bose condensate confined in an external trap. Our predictions are in qualitative agreement with previous experimental and theoretical results. We show in particular that our theory is capable of explaining the so-called anomalous behavior of the m = 0 mode.
