Theory of Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped gases

F Dalfovo, S Giorgini, LP Pitaevskii, S Stringari - Reviews of modern physics, 1999 - APS
Abstract The phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases in traps is
reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Mean-field theory provides a framework to …

Vortices in a trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensate

AL Fetter, AA Svidzinsky - Journal of Physics: condensed matter, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the theory of vortices in trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensates and compare
theoretical predictions with existing experiments. Mean-field theory based on the time …

Quantum coherent atomic tunneling between two trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

A Smerzi, S Fantoni, S Giovanazzi, SR Shenoy - Physical Review Letters, 1997 - APS
We study the coherent atomic tunneling between two zero-temperature Bose-Einstein
condensates (BEC) confined in a double-well magnetic trap. Two Gross-Pitaevskii equations …

Coherent oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates: Josephson effects, oscillations, and macroscopic quantum self-trap**

S Raghavan, A Smerzi, S Fantoni, SR Shenoy - Physical Review A, 1999 - APS
We discuss the coherent atomic oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein
condensates. The weak link is provided by a laser barrier in a (possibly asymmetric) double …

The ac and dc Josephson effects in a Bose–Einstein condensate

S Levy, E Lahoud, I Shomroni, J Steinhauer - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
The alternating-and direct-current (ac and dc) Josephson effects were first discovered in a
system of two superconductors, the macroscopic wavefunctions of which are weakly coupled …

Atom laser with a cw output coupler

I Bloch, TW Hänsch, T Esslinger - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
We demonstrate a continuous output coupler for magnetically trapped atoms. Over a period
of up to 100 ms, a collimated and monoenergetic beam of atoms is continuously extracted …

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates: Variational solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations

VM Perez-Garcia, H Michinel, JI Cirac, M Lewenstein… - Physical Review A, 1997 - APS
A variational technique is applied to solve the time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger
equation (Gross-Pitaevskii equation) with the goal to model the dynamics of dilute ultracold …

The physics of trapped dilute-gas Bose–Einstein condensates

AS Parkins, DF Walls - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
The experimental realisation of Bose–Einstein condensates of dilute atomic vapours has
generated immense interest and activity in this field. Here, we present a review of recent …
