Attractive nonlinear Schrdinger equation and Bose-Einstein condensate in phase space
Shang Hong-ling
Abstract
Within the framework of the quantum phase-space representation established by Torres-Vega and Frederick, the rigorous solutions of attractive nonlinear Schrdinger equation are solved, which models the Bose-Einstein condensate. The eigenfunctions in position and momentum spaces can be obtained through the Fourier-like projection transformation from the phase-space eigenfunctions. The eigenfunction with a hypersecant part is discussed as an example.
