The modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation was derived and solved to obtain the 1D solution in the zero-energy limit. This stationary solution could account for the dominated contributions due to the kinetic effect as well as the chemical potential in inhomogeneous Bose gases.
We investigate the properties of the one-dimensional Bose gas at zero temperature, for which exact results exist for some model systems. We treat the interactions between particles in the gas with an approximate form of the many-body T-matrix, and find a form of Gross-Pitaevskii equation valid in 1D. The results presented agree with the exact models in both the weakly and strongly interacting limits, and interpolate smoothly between them. We also investigate the use of mean-field treatments of trapped BECs to describe the 1D system in the strongly interacting limit. We find that the use of the many-body T-matrix to describe interactions leads to qualitative agreement with the exact models for some physical quantities. We indicate how the standard mean-field treatments need to be modified to extend and improve the agreement.
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.
We consider a dilute and ultracold bosonic gas of weakly-interacting atoms. Within the framework of quantum field theory, we derive a zero-temperature modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation with beyond-mean-field corrections due to quantum depletion and anomalous density. This result is obtained from the stationary equation of the Bose–Einstein order parameter coupled to the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations of the out-of-condensate field operator. We show that, in the presence of a generic external trapping potential, the key steps to get the modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation are the semiclassical approximation for the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations, a slowly-varying order parameter and a small quantum depletion. In the uniform case, from the modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation, we get the familiar equation of state with Lee–Huang–Yang correction.
Based on the Gross-Pitaevskii(G-P) energy functional and variational method, we present a new method to find the ground state wave function for Bose-condensed gas in a harmonic trap at zero temperature. With this method we are able to find the analytic expression of ground state wave function and explore the relevant quantities, such as energy, chemical potential and so on. These results agree well with previous ground state numerical solutions of the G-P equation given by Dalfovo et al. Under the large number of particles N limit for repulsive interaction, our results and Thomas-Fermi approximation model approach to reaching unanimity. This new method is simple compared to other methods used to solve numerically the G-P equation, and one can obtained the analytic and reliable results.
The ground-state energy of a finite inhomogeneous system of bosons located in a scalar external field was found within the framework of the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation, on the basis of the representation of the second quantization without using the formalism of anomalous averages. The ground-state wave function corresponds to the stationary Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the Bose-Einstein condensate wave function. It was shown that the ground-state energy can be found using the energy determined by the stationary Gross-Pitaevskii equation only for a system that satisfies the thermodynamic limit.
