Abstract

We present an extension of the well-known Bogoliubov theory to treat low-dimensional degenerate Bose gases in the limit of weak interactions and low density fluctuations. We use a density-phase representation and show that a precise definition of the phase operator requires a space discretization in cells of size l. We perform a systematic expansion of the Hamiltonian in terms of two small parameters, the relative density fluctuations inside a cell and the phase change over a cell. The resulting macroscopic observables can be computed in one, two, and three dimensions with no ultraviolet or infrared divergence. Furthermore, this approach exactly matches Bogoliubov's approach when there is a true condensate. We give the resulting expressions for the equation of state of the gas, the ground state energy, and the first order and second order correlation functions of the field. Explicit calculations are done for homogeneous systems.

Quasi-one dimensional degenerate Bose gas

Motivated by the MIT experiment [Gorlitz {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 130402 (2001)], we analytically study the effect of density and phase fluctuations on various observables in a quasi one-dimensional degenerate Bose gases. Quantizing the Gross-Pitaevskii Hamiltonian and diagonalize it in terms of the normal modes associated with the density and phase fluctuations of a quasi-one dimensional Bose gas. We calculate dynamic structure factor $S(q,ω)$ from low-energy condensate density fluctuations and find that there are multiple peaks in $S(q,ω)$ for a given momentum $q$ due to the discrete energy spectrum. These multiple peaks can be resolved by a two-photon Bragg pulse with a long duration which transfer the momentum to the system. We calculate the momentum transferred $ P_z(t)$ by using the phase-density representation of the Bose order parameter. We also calculate the single-particle density matrix, phase coherence length, and momentum distribution by taking care of the phase fluctuations upto fourth-order term as well as the density fluctuations. Our studies on coherence properties shows that 1D Bose gases of MIT experiment do not form a true condensate, but it can be obtained by a moderate changes of the current experimental parameters.

Ground State Energy of the Two-Dimensional Weakly Interacting Bose Gas: First Correction Beyond Bogoliubov Theory

Christophe Mora, Yvan Castin

We consider the grand potential Omega of a two-dimensional weakly interacting homogeneous Bose gas at zero temperature. Building on a number-conserving Bogoliubov method for a lattice model in the grand canonical ensemble, we calculate the next order term as compared to the Bogoliubov prediction, in a systematic expansion of Omega in powers of the parameter measuring the weakness of the interaction. Our prediction is in very good agreement with recent Monte Carlo calculations.

Simple theoretical tools for low dimension Bose gases

Yvan Castin

We first consider an exactly solvable classical field model to understand the coherence properties and the density fluctuations of a one-dimensional (1D) weakly interacting degenerate Bose gas with repulsive interactions at temperatures larger than the chemical potential. In a second part, using a lattice model for the quantum field, we explain how to carefully generalize the usual Bogoliubov approach to study a degenerate and weakly interacting Bose gas in 1D, 2D or 3D in the regime of weak density fluctuations. In the last part, using the mapping to an ideal Fermi gas in second quantized formalism, we calculate and discuss physically the density fluctuations and the coherence properties of a gas of impenetrable bosons in 1D.

Density fluctuations in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose gas as observed in free expansion

Krzysztof Gawryluk, Mariusz Gajda, Mirosław Brewczyk

We study, within the framework of the classical-field approximation, the density correlations of a weakly interacting expanding Bose gas for the whole range of temperatures across the Bose-Einstein condensation threshold. We focus on elongated quasi-one-dimensional systems where there is a huge discrepancy between the existing theory and experimental results [A. Perrin et al., Nat. Phys. 8, 195 (2012)]. We find that the density correlation function is not reduced for temperatures below the critical one as it is predicted for the ideal gas or for a weakly interacting system within the Bogoliubov approximation. This behavior of the density correlations agrees with the above-mentioned experiment with the elongated system. Although the system was much larger than that studied here, we believe that the behavior of the density correlation function found there is quite generic. Our theoretical study indicates also large density fluctuations in the trap in the quasicondensate regime where only phase fluctuations were expected. We argue that the enhanced density fluctuations can originate in the presence of interactions in the system, or more precisely in the presence of spontaneous dark solitons in the elongated gas at thermal equilibrium.

Comparison between microscopic methods for finite-temperature Bose gases

S. P. Cockburn, Antonio Negretti, Nick P. Proukakis +1 more

We analyze the equilibrium properties of a weakly interacting, trapped quasi-one-dimensional Bose gas at finite temperatures and compare different theoretical approaches. We focus in particular on two stochastic theories: a number-conserving Bogoliubov (NCB) approach and a stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SGPE) that have been extensively used in numerical simulations. Equilibrium properties like density profiles, correlation functions, and the condensate statistics are compared to predictions based upon a number of alternative theories. We find that due to thermal phase fluctuations, and the corresponding condensate depletion, the NCB approach loses its validity at relatively low temperatures. This can be attributed to the change in the Bogoliubov spectrum, as the condensate gets thermally depleted, and to large fluctuations beyond perturbation theory. Although the two stochastic theories are built on different thermodynamic ensembles (NCB, canonical; SGPE, grand-canonical), they yield the correct condensate statistics in a large Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) (strong enough particle interactions). For smaller systems, the SGPE results are prone to anomalously large number fluctuations, well known for the grand-canonical, ideal Bose gas. Based on the comparison of the above theories to the modified Popov approach, we propose a simple procedure for approximately extracting the Penrose-Onsager condensate from first- and second-order correlation functions that is both computationally convenient and of potential use to experimentalists. This also clarifies the link between condensate and quasicondensate in the Popov theory of low-dimensional systems.
