Growth-Collapse Cycles of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with Attractive Interactions
Kerson Huang
A Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms with attractive interactions exhibits growth and collapse cycles, when it is fed by a thermal cloud. Recently this phenomenon has been directly…
Cold Trapped Atoms: A Mesoscopic System
Kerson Huang
The Bose-Einstein condensates recently created in trapped atomic gases are mesoscopic systems, in two senses: (a) Their size fall between macroscopic and microscopic systems; (b) T…
How to mode-lock an atom laser
Peter D. Drummond, Antonios Eleftheriou, Kerson Huang +1
We consider a possible technique for mode-locking an atom laser, based on the generation of a dark soliton in a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate, with repulsive atomic interact…
Methods for a Nonuniform Bose Gas
Kerson Huang, Paolo Tommasini
We review mathematical methods for the treatment of a system of Bose particles with nonuniform density. Common pitfalls are pointed out.
