Quantum Kinetic Theory V: Quantum kinetic master equation for mutual interaction of condensate and noncondensate
C. W. Gardiner, P. Zoller
A detailed quantum kinetic master equation is developed which couples the kinetics of a trapped condensate to the vapor of non-condensed particles. This generalizes previous work w…
Quantum Kinetic Theory of Condensate Growth---Comparison of Experiment and Theory
C. W. Gardiner, M. D. Lee, R. J. Ballagh +2
In a major extension of our previous model (C.W. Gardiner, P. Zoller, R.J. Ballagh and M.J. Davis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 1793 (1997)) of condensate growth, we take account of the ev…
Quantum kinetic theory IV: Intensity and amplitude fluctuations of a Bose- Einstein condensate at finite temperature including trap loss
D. Jaksch, C. W. Gardiner, K. M. Gheri +1
We use the quantum kinetic theory to calculate the steady state and the fluctuations of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at finite temperature. The system is divided in a condens…
Kinetics of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Trap
C. W. Gardiner, P. Zoller, R. J. Ballagh +1
The formation process of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a trap is described using a master equation based on quantum kinetic theory, which can be well approximated by a description…
Quantum Kinetic Theory III: Simulation of the Quantum Boltzmann Master Equation
D. Jaksch, C. W. Gardiner, P. Zoller
We present results of simulations of a em quantum Boltzmann master equation (QBME) describing the kinetics of a dilute Bose gas confined in a trapping potential in the regime of Bo…
Quantum Kinetic Theory I: A Quantum Kinetic Master Equation for Condensation of a weakly interacting Bose gas without a trapping potential
C. W. Gardiner, P. Zoller
A Quantum Kinetic Master Equation (QKME) for bosonic atoms is formulated. It is a quantum stochastic equation for the kinetics of a dilute quantum Bose gas, and describes the behav…
