Dilute Bose gas revised

Abstract

The well-known results concerning a dilute Bose gas with the short-range repulsive interaction should be reconsidered due to a thermodynamic inconsistency of the method being basic to much of the present understanding of this subject. The aim of our paper is to propose another way of treating the dilute Bose gas with an arbitrary strong interaction. Using the reduced density matrix of the second order and a variational procedure, this way allows us to escape the inconsistency mentioned and operate with singular potentials of the Lennard-Jones type. The derived expansion of the condensate depletion in powers of the boson density n=N/V reproduces the familiar result, while the expansion for the mean energy per particle is of the form epsilon=2 pi planck(2)an/m[1+128/(15 square root of [pi]) square root of [na(3)](1-5b/8a)+...], where a is the scattering length and b> or =0 stands for one more characteristic length depending on the shape of the interaction potential (in particular, for the hard spheres a=b). All the consideration concerns the zero temperature.

Short-range particle correlations in a dilute Bose gas

Alexander Yu. Cherny, Arkady A Shanenko

The thermodynamics of a homogeneous dilute Bose gas with an arbitrarily strong repulsion between particles is investigated on the basis of the exact relation connecting the pair correlation function with the in-medium pair wave functions and occupation numbers. It is shown that the effective-interaction scheme, which is reduced to the Bogoliubov model with the effective pairwise potential, is not acceptable for investigating the short-range particle correlations in a dilute strongly interacting Bose gas. In contrast to this scheme, our model is thermodynamically consistent and free of the ultraviolet divergences due to accurate treatment of the short-range boson correlations. An equation for the in-medium scattering amplitude is derived that makes it possible to find the in-medium renormalization for the pair wave functions at short boson separations. Low-density expansions for the main thermodynamic quantities are reinvestigated on the basis of this equation. In addition, the expansions are found for the interaction and kinetic energies per particle. It is demonstrated that for a many-boson system of hard spheres the interaction energy is equal to zero for any boson density. The exact relationship between the chemical potential and in-medium pair wave functions is also established.

Dilute Bose gas in two dimensions: Density expansions and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Alexander Yu. Cherny, Arkady A Shanenko

A dilute homogeneous two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas at zero temperature is studied with the method developed earlier by the authors. This method allows for considering renormalization of an arbitrary pairwise potential in a self-consistent manner, without the pseudopotential delta-function representation. Low-density expansions are derived for the chemical potential, ground-state energy, pair distribution function, kinetic and interaction energies. The expansion parameter is found to be a dimensionless in-medium scattering amplitude u obeying the equation 1/u+ln u=-ln(na(2)pi)-2gamma, where na(2) and gamma are the gas parameter and the Euler constant, respectively. It is shown that the ground-state energy is mostly kinetic in the low-density limit. This result does not depend on a specific form of the pairwise interaction potential, contrary to the 3D case. A new form of the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation is proposed within our scheme.

Theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas

Jens O. Andersen

This article reviews recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective-field-theory methods are used to formulate a systematic perturbative framework that can be used to calculate the properties of a system at $T=0.$ The perturbative expansion of these properties is essentially an expansion in the gas parameter $\sqrt{{\mathrm{na}}^{3}},$ where $a$ is the $s$-wave scattering length and $n$ is the number density. In particular, the leading quantum corrections to the ground-state energy density, the condensate depletion, and long-wavelength collective excitations are rederived in an efficient and economical manner. Nonuniversal effects are also discussed. These effects are higher-order corrections that depend on properties of the interatomic potential other than the scattering length, such as the effective range. The article critically examines various approaches to the dilute Bose gas in equilibrium at finite temperature. These include the Bogoliubov approximation, the Popov approximation, the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, the \ensuremath{\Phi}-derivable approach, optimized perturbation theory, and renormalization-group techniques. The article ends with a look at recent calculations of the critical temperature of the dilute Bose gas, which include $1/N$ techniques, lattice simulations, self-consistent calculations, and variational perturbation theory.

Low-density expansions for the homogeneous dipolar Bose gas at zero temperature

Alexander Yu. Cherny

The low-density expansions for the energy, chemical potential, and condensate depletion of the homogeneous dilute dipolar Bose gas are obtained by regularizing the dipole-dipole interaction at long distances. It is shown that the leading term, proportional to the density, allows a simple physical interpretation and consistently describes the thermodynamic stability of the system. The long-range asymptotics are obtained analytically for the normal and anomalous one-particle correlation functions and the pair distribution function. We discuss the properties of the two-body scattering with zero relative momentum for the dipole-dipole interaction; in particular, we derive the asymptotics of the wave function and a correction to the scattering length for small values of the dipolar range. We show how the density expansions can be derived within the Bogoliubov model of weakly interacting particles without any divergence from the assumption of universality of the expansions at low densities.

Dilute-Degenerate Gases

Franck Laloë

We study the properties of quantum gases which are dilute in terms of the interactions but degenerate; this may be the case if the thermal wavelength of the particles is much larger than the interatomic potential range. We assume that the potential contains a short range repulsive part, which creates strong correlations between particles that cannot be treated by ordinary perturbation theory, even if the region of configuration space where they are dominant is relatively small. Our method combines two basic ingredients: Ursell operators, which generalize the Ursell functions that are usually used to generate quantum cluster expansions, but are not in themselves symmetrized (the operators can be related to an auxiliary system of distinguishable particles); in a distinct step, an exact treatment of particle indistinguishability is given through the inclusion of exchange cycles of arbitrary length. For non-condensed boson systems, as well as for fermion systems, the method provides a compact expression of the partition function that generalizes the well-known Beth–Uhlenbeck formula to arbitrary degeneracy. For the study of the Bose–Einstein condensation, our treatment retains more information on the short range correlations than, for instance, the Hartree–Fock method. It also introduces a natural and explicit distinction between particles and quasiparticles; the latter may condense into a single one-particle state, which obeys a non-linear equation somewhat similar to the Gross–Pitaevskii equation.
