Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and superconductivity are quantum mechanics made visible. They mark the boundary between the classical and the quantum worlds, and they show the macroscopic role of quantum mechanics in condensed matter. This book presents these phenomena in terms of particles, their positions, and their momenta, giving a concrete visualisation and description that is not possible with traditional wave functions. A single approach that bridges the classical-quantum divide provides new insight into the role of particle interactions in condensation, the nature of collisions in superfluid flow, and the physical form of Cooper pairs in high-temperature superconductors. High-temperature superconductivity is explored with quantum statistical mechanics, which links it to Bose-Einstein condensation. Identifying a new mechanism for Cooper pairing, this explains the differences between the low- and high-temperature superconducting regimes and the role of the molecular structure of the conductor. The new perspective offered by this book on Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and high-temperature superconductivity gives particle-based explanations as well as mathematical and computational methods for these macroscopic quantum phenomena so that readers understand the role of particle interactions and structure in the physics of these phenomena. This book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, lecturers, academics, and scientific researchers in the fields of Bose-Einstein condensation and condensates, superfluidity, and superconductivity. It will also be of interest to those working with thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, materials science, condensed matter physics, and theoretical chemistry. Key Features: · Explores Bose-Einstein condensation with new evidence for multiple condensed states and novel Monte Carlo simulations for interacting bosons · Establishes the thermodynamic nature of condensed bosons from an analysis of fountain pressure measurements, including that they carry energy and entropy, and the thermodynamic principle of superfluid flow · Derives equations of motion for condensed bosons, and performs molecular dynamics simulations of the viscosity with molecular trajectories that give rise to superfluidity · Identifies the mechanism for electron pairing in high-temperature superconductivity
High-temperature superconductivity, a fundamental topic in condensed matter physics, presents one of the critical scientific challenges of this century. The potential for breakthroughs in this field not only promises to reveal numerous novel quantum phenomena and deepen our understanding of quantum many-body physics but also to significantly drive advancements in experimental techniques, theories, and methodologies in probing correlated quantum systems. More importantly, as a non-perturbative quantum system, high-temperature superconductivity offers an ideal platform and a crucial driving force for systematically establishing non-perturbative quantum field theory. Currently, research on high-temperature superconductivity stands at a critical turning point. Achieving significant breakthroughs requires the development of cutting-edge detection technologies built upon novel concepts, the establishment of innovative theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and insightful elucidation of the physical pictures revealed by experimental findings. Such extensive exploration is vital for unveiling fundamental relationships and identifying the governing principles. By integrating these efforts, we can gain profound insights into the mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity and significantly expand the horizons of quantum many-body theory.
Observed crossover events between different power functions of absolute temperature occurring below about ~1 K in the temperature dependence of the heat capacity or the thermal conductivity of the conventional superconductors are identified as transitions from Maxwell-Boltzmann to Bose-Einstein (BE) statistics of the Cooper-pairs. Because of the low mass of the Cooper pairs of 2me (with me as mass of the electron) and their high density, the BE-condensation temperature, TBE, of the Cooper-pairs is about five orders of magnitude higher than for the dilute alkali atom condensates. The condensation temperature TBE turns out to be proportional to the superconducting transition temperature TSC. From the observed TBE-values it is possible to calculate the density of the Cooper pairs. Assuming that the Cooper pairs form a dense gas of bosons, the diameter of the Cooper-pair orbitals turns out to be equal to the London penetration depth. As a conclusion, due to the large orbital diamagnetism of the Cooper-pairs pairs, only one layer of Cooper-pairs, next to the inner surface of the sample, is sufficient to shield an applied external magnetic field completely.
The realization of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in dilute gases of ultracold atoms has revolutionized quantum physics by offering an unprecedented platform to study quantum phenomena on macroscopic scales. Ultracold atomic systems, cooled to temperatures near absolute zero, exhibit collective behaviors governed by quantum statistics, coherence, and interactions. This article discusses the theoretical and experimental frameworks underpinning the formation of BECs, focusing on the trapping, cooling, and coherence properties of ultracold bosonic gases. Further, we delve into the role of quantum phase transitions, atom-atom interactions, and external field manipulation in controlling condensate dynamics. The implications of BECs extend into precision measurements, quantum simulation, and quantum computing, positioning them as a cornerstone in modern atomic and condensed matter physics.
Abstract The book covers three main strands, Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), superfluid and superconductivity. The subjects are developed in a way which gradually builds up the key concepts and the necessary mathematical machinery. The book begins with the simplest of the three topics, BEC, and first thoroughly reviews the basics of the Bose-Einstein ideal gas before going into the techniques of magnetic trapping and cooling of atoms and the discovery of BEC in dilute atomic gases. Superfluidity in helium-4 is more difficult to understand, because it is a strongly interacting quantum liquid. The book introduces the main physical phenomena of superfluidity, and how it follows from the key concept of macroscopic quantum coherence and off-diagonal long ranged order. The theory of superconductivity is developed in stages, starting with the simpler London and Ginzburg Landau theories and their main applications, before developing the mathematical concepts of a quantum coherent state and the Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer (BCS) theory. The final chapter deals with the more advanced topics, including superfluid helium-3 and evidence for unconventional Cooper pairing in exotic superconductors. No prior knowledge of quantum many-body theory is assumed, and the necessary mathematical concepts are introduced in a self-contained manner where needed.
