Abstract

We construct a macroscopic wave function that describes the Bose-Einstein condensate and weakly excited states, using the $\mathrm{SU}(1,1)$ structure of the mean-field Hamiltonian, and compare this state with the experimental values of second- and third-order correlation functions.

Variational Wave Function for Inhomogeneous Bose–Einstein Condensate with 3/2-Body Correlations

Wataru Kohno, Akimitsu Kirikoshi, Takafumi Kita

We construct a variational wave function for inhomogeneous weakly interacting Bose--Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field approximation by incorporating $3/2$-body correlations. From our numerical results calculated for a system trapped by a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the $3/2$-body correlations give a contribution comparable to the mean- field energy toward lowering the ground-state energy.

3/2-Body Correlations and Coherence in Bose–Einstein Condensates

Takafumi Kita

We construct a variational wave function for the ground state of weakly interacting bosons that gives a lower energy than the mean-field Girardeau-Arnowitt (or Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov) theory. This improvement is brought about by incorporating the dynamical 3/2-body processes where one of two colliding non-condensed particles drops into the condensate and vice versa. The processes are also shown to transform the one-particle excitation spectrum into a bubbling mode with a finite lifetime even in the long-wavelength limit. These 3/2-body processes, which give rise to dynamical exchange of particles between the non-condensate reservoir and condensate absent in ideal gases, are identified as a key mechanism for realizing and sustaining macroscopic coherence in Bose-Einstein condensates.

Ground-State Wave Function with Interactions between Different Species in M-Component Miscible Bose–Einstein Condensates

Wataru Kohno, Akimitsu Kirikoshi, Takafumi Kita

We construct a variational ground-state wave function of weakly interacting M-component Bose-Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field theory by incorporating the dynamical 3/2-body processes, where one of the two colliding particles drops into the condensate and vice versa. Our numerical results with various masses and particle numbers show that the 3/2-body processes between different particles make finite contributions to lowering the ground-state energy, implying that many-body correlation effects between different particles are essential even in the weak-coupling regime of the Bose--Einstein condensates. We also consider the stability condition for $2$-component miscible states using the new ground-state wave function. Through this calculation, we obtain the relation $U^{2}_{AB}/U_{AA}U_{BB}<1+α$, where $U_{ij}$ is the effective contact potential between particles $i$ and $j$ and $α$ is the correction, which originates from the $3/2$-body and $2$-body processes.
