Composite Bosons description of rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates

arXiv:cond-mat/0307418

Abstract

Recently a novel phase transition has been observed \cite{jalin} in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate when the rotating frequency reaches the transverse trap frequency and eventually crosses it. We study certain aspects of this experiment in terms of the condensation of composite bosons and the corresponding vortex formation using a Chern-Simon Gross-Pitaevskii theory. %
