Dynamics of Fluctuating Bose-Einstein Condensates
M. J. Bijlsma, H. T. C. Stoof
We present a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation that describes also the dissipative dynamics of a trapped partially Bose condensed gas. It takes the form of a complex nonlinear…
Effect of Interactions on the Critical Temperature of a Dilute Bose gas
M. Bijlsma, H. T. C. Stoof
Due to the observation of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic Rb and Na vapors last year, there is currently a great interest in the properties of a degenerat…
Theory of Interacting Quantum Gases
H. T. C. Stoof, M. Bijlsma, M. Houbiers
We present a unified picture of the interaction effects in dilute atomic quantum gases. We consider fermionic as well as bosonic gases and, in particular, discuss for both forms of…
Variational Approach to the Dilute Bose Gas
M. Bijlsma, H. T. C. Stoof
We study the weakly-interacting Bose gas in both two and three dimensions using a variational approach. In particular we construct the thermodynamic potential of the gas to within…
