Finite-temperature correlations in the trapped Bose gas

Abstract

Previous functional integral methods for translationally invariant systems have been extended to the case of a confining trap potential. Essentially all finite-temperature properties of the repulsive Bose gas in a paraboloidal trap can be determined this way. New analytical results reported here are for the finite-temperature two-point correlation functions below the critical temperatures in d=3,2 and 1 dimensions. Only for d=3 are correlations both long range and coherent - at long range consistent with the existence of a coherent state of the condensate in the trap. The two-dimensional condensate is marginally stable in the sense that correlations decay by a power law.

Finite-temperature correlations in the trapped Bose-Einstein gas

N. M. Bogoliubov, R. Bullough, V. S. Kapitonov +2 more

New analytical results are reported for the two-point correlation function at nonzero temperatures in d = 3,2 and 1 dimensions. Only for d = 3 are correlations below T c both long range and coherent—at long range consistent with the existence of a coherent state of the condensate in the trap. Asymptotically these correlations are found to decay as (ρ( S ) ·∣ r 1 − r 2 ∣) −1 towards a nonzero value. The condensate density ρ( S ), with S = ( r 1 + r 2 )/2, is a slowly varying function and introduces a small amplitude variation in the decay of correlations when considered as a function of ∣ r 1 − r 2 ∣. The prediction of a ∣ r 1 − r 2 ∣ −1 -dependence at least has very recently been confirmed in a beautiful experiment (Bloch I., Hänsch T. W. and Esslinger T. REVIEWNature4032000166). The two-dimensional condensate is marginally stable in the sense that for 0 < T < T c correlations decay by a power law.

The Functional Integration and the Two-Point Correlation Functions of the Trapped Bose Gas

Cyril Leonidovich Malyshev, N. M. Bogoliubov

A quantum field-theoretical model, which describes spatially non-homogeneous repulsive Bose gas in an external harmonic potential is considered. Two-point thermal correlation functions of the Bose gas are calculated in the framework of the functional integration approach. Successive integration over the ``high-energy'' functional variables first and then over the ``low-energy'' ones is used. The effective action functional for the low-energy variables is obtained in one loop approximation. The functional integral representations for the correlation functions are estimated by means of the stationary phase approximation. A power-law asymptotical behaviour of the correlators of the one-dimensional Bose gas is demonstrated in the limit, when the temperature is going to zero, while the volume occupied by the non-homogeneous Bose gas infinitely increases. The power-law behaviour is governed by the critical exponent dependent on the spatial arguments.

Two-point correlations of a trapped interacting Bose gas at finite temperature

A. Bezett, E. Toth, P. B. Blakie

We develop a computationally tractable method for calculating correlation functions of the finite temperature trapped Bose gas that includes the effects of $s$-wave interactions. Our approach uses a classical field method to model the low energy modes and treats the high energy modes using a Hartree-Fock description. We present results of first and second order correlation functions, in position and momentum space, for an experimentally realistic system in the temperature range of $0.6{T}_{c}$ to $1.0{T}_{c}$. We also characterize the spatial coherence length of the system. Our theory should be applicable in the critical region where experiments are now able to measure first and second order correlations.

Finite-temperature correlations in the one-dimensional trapped and untrapped Bose gases

N. M. Bogoliubov, Cyril Leonidovich Malyshev, R. Bullough +1 more

We calculate the dynamic single-particle and many-particle correlation functions at nonzero temperature in one-dimensional trapped repulsive Bose gases. These correlation functions decay towards zero for increasing distance, and this decay is governed by a scaling exponent that has a universal expression in terms of observed quantities. This expression is valid in the weak-interaction Gross-Pitaevskii as well as in the strong-interaction Girardeau-Tonks limit, but the observed quantities involved depend on the interaction strength. The confining trap introduces a weak center-of-mass dependence in the scaling exponent. Based on previous exact results for a related untrapped Bose system and the results reported here, we also suggest the proper asymptotic form for the density-density correlation function in the trapped Bose gas as considered here.

Ultracold two-dimensional trapped bose gases

Hutchinson, DAW, Christopher Gies, S. A. Morgan +2 more

We present an overview of our recent work describing the treatment of ultracold atomic Bose gases confined to two dimensions in a harmonic trap. We show how the gas goes through a number of regimes as the axially confining potential is increased and discuss the scattering properties of the gas in each of these regimes. We then use the formalism developed to investigate the phase-coherent Bose-Einstein condensate that is present in the trapped two-dimensional gas at temperatures that are low compared to the ideal gas critical temperature and to analyze the first-order coherence as a function of temperature. We identify the regime in which the gas loses its global phase coherence, although a macroscopic occupation of the ground state persists at a temperature well below the ideal gas critical temperature. We comment on the possible connection between this fluctuating regime and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase.

Bose-Einstein condensation of a trapped gas in n dimensions

Zijun Yan

The critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, ground-state fraction, and heat capacity of an ideal gas of Bose particles that are confined by an n-dimensional generic power-law potential trap are derived. The conditions for Bose-Einstein condensation and the discontinuous conditions of the heat capacity at critical temperature are obtained. All these quantities and conditions are found to vary markedly with the dimensionality of space, characteristics of particles, and shape of the external potential. The results obtained here are universal.
