Abstract The properties of ultracold quantum gases of bosons with dipole–dipole interaction are investigated at finite temperature in the frame of representative ensembles theory. Self-consistent coupled equations of motion are derived for the condensate and the non-condensate components. Corrections due to the dipolar interaction to condensate depletion, the anomalous density and thermodynamic quantities such as the ground state energy, the equation of state, the compressibility and the presure are calculated in the homogeneous case at both zero and finite temperatures. Effects of interaction and temperature on the structure factor are also discussed. Within the realm of the local density approximation, we generalize our results to the case of a trapped dipolar gas.

Dark matter axions and other highly degenerate bosonic fluids are commonly described by classical field equations. In a recent paper \cite{BECprop} we calculated the duration of classicality of homogeneous condensates with attractive contact interactions and of self-gravitating homogeneous condensates in critical expansion. According to their classical equations of motion, such condensates persist forever. In their quantum evolution parametric resonance causes quanta to jump in pairs out of the condensate into all modes with wavevector less than some critical value. We estimated in each case the time scale over which the condensate is depleted and after which a classical description is invalid.
