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 …

Bose-Einstein condensation, or BEC, has a long and rich history dating from the early
1920s. In this article we will trace briefly over this history and some of the developments in …

A Modern Course in Statistical Physics is a textbook that illustrates the foundations of
equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics, and the universal nature of …

The realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEe) in dilute atomic gases [1-5] achieved
several long-standing goals. First, neutral atoms were cooled into the lowest energy state …

On June 19th 1999, the European Ministers of Education signed the Bologna Declaration,
with which they agreed that the European university education should be uniformized …

The discovery of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) in trapped ultracold atomic gases in
1995 has led to an explosion of theoretical and experimental research on the properties of …

The theoretical description of trapped weakly interacting Bose–Einstein condensates is
characterized by a large number of seemingly very different approaches which have been …

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 …

Collective excitations of a dilute Bose gas were probed above and below the Bose-Einstein
condensation temperature. The temperature dependencies of the frequency and dam** …

We review and extend the theory of the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation in weakly
interacting atomic gases. We present in a unified way both the semiclassical theory as well …
