Projection Optimization Method for Open-Dissipative Quantum Fluids and its Application to a Single Vortex in a Photon Bose-Einstein Condensate

Joshua Krauß, Marcos Alberto Gonçalves dos Santos Filho, Francisco Ednilson Alves dos Santos +1

Open dissipative systems of quantum fluids have been well studied numerically. In view of a complementary analytical description we extend here the variational optimization method…
