Excited stationary states of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
John A. Vaccaro, Ole Steuernagel, Ben Lorimer
We investigate the excited stationary states of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in harmonic potentials. We derive simple analytical approximations of the first few eigenstates of…

Atom lasers, coherent states, and coherence: I. physically realizable ensembles of pure states
H. M. Wiseman, John A. Vaccaro
A laser, be it an optical laser or an atom laser, is an open quantum system that produces a coherent beam of bosons. Far above threshold, the stationary state of the laser…
