Diffusion and Localization of Cold Atoms in 3D Optical Speckle

arXiv:0912.4224 · doi:10.1140/epjd/e2010-00141-5

Abstract

In this work we re-formulate and solve the self-consistent theory for localization to a Bose-Einstein condensate expanding in a 3D optical speckle. The long-range nature of the fluctuations in the potential energy, treated in the self-consistent Born approximation, make the scattering strongly velocity dependent, and its consequences for mobility edge and fraction of localized atoms have been investigated numerically.
