Structure of the Bose-Einstein condensate ground state
A. I. Solomon, Yu-Jie Feng, Vittorio Penna
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.
