Abstract

Large scale numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation are used to elucidate the self-evolution of a Bose gas from a strongly non-equilibrium initial state. The stages of the process confirm and refine the theoretical scenario of Bose-Einstein condensation developed by Svistunov, Kagan, and Shlyapnikov [1-3]: the system evolves from the regime of weak turbulence to superfluid turbulence, via states of strong turbulence in the long-wavelength region of energy space.

Kinetics of Bose–Einstein Condensation

Boris V. Svistunov, Egor S. Babaev, Nikolay V. Prokof'ev

In this chapter,∗ we will analyze strongly nonequilibrium kinetics of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) formation in a weakly interacting Bose gas (WIBG). The process takes place as a result of self-evolution when occupation numbers in the initial state are large enough to ensure finite condensate density upon thermalization. In WIBG, the scenario of BEC formation involves several stages taking place at diﬀerent wavenumber intervals. The key stages of the ordering process are of classicalfield character and are described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE), with turbulent initial condition.In this chapter,∗ we will analyze strongly nonequilibrium kinetics of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) formation in a weakly interacting Bose gas (WIBG).

Nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation

Vishwanath Shukla, Sergey Nazarenko

We investigate formation of Bose-Einstein condensates under nonequilibrium conditions using numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For this, we set initial random weakly nonlinear excitations and the forcing at high wave numbers and study propagation of the turbulent spectrum toward the low wave numbers. Our primary goal is to compare the results for the evolving spectrum with the previous results obtained for the kinetic equation of weak wave turbulence. We demonstrate existence of a regime for which good agreement with the wave turbulence results is found in terms of the main features of the previously discussed self-similar solution. In particular, we find a reasonable agreement with the low-frequency and the high-frequency power-law asymptotics of the evolving solution, including the anomalous power-law exponent ${x}^{*}\ensuremath{\approx}1.24$ for the three-dimensional wave action spectrum. We also study the regimes of very weak turbulence when the evolution is affected by the discreteness of the Fourier space, and the strong turbulence regime when the emerging condensate modifies the wave dynamics and leads to formation of strongly nonlinear filamentary vortices.We investigate formation of Bose-Einstein condensates under nonequilibrium conditions using numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Kinetics of Strongly Non-Equilibrium Bose-Einstein Condensation

Boris V. Svistunov

We consider the ordering kinetics in a strongly non-equilibrium state of a (weakly) interacting Bose gas, characterized, on one hand, by large occupation numbers, and, on the other hand, by the absence of long-range order. Up to higher-order corrections in inverse occupation numbers, the evolution is described by non-linear Schrodinger equation with a turbulent initial state. The ordering process is rather rich and involves a number of qualitatively different regimes that take place in different regions of energy space. Specially addressed is the case of evolution in an external potential.We consider the ordering kinetics in a strongly non-equilibrium state of a (weakly) interacting Bose gas, characterized, on one hand, by large occupation numbers, and, on the other hand, by the absence of long-range order.

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.
