Quantum Borderlines -- Fluctuation Energies in Ultracold Bose Gases
arXiv:2503.21908 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/add760
Abstract
Ultracold Bose gases are many-body systems with well-defined particle interactions that may serve as models for interacting quantum fields. The impact of virtual excitations is studied in the spatial transition zone created by a soft confinement potential that separates a degenerate ideal gas from a dense quasi-condensate. We compute within Bogoliubov theory the contribution of quasi-particles to the surface energy at zero temperature.
