Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped gases
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute gases in traps from a theoretical perspective and provided a framework to understand the main features of the condensation and role of interactions between particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bosons in anisotropic traps: Ground state and vortices
Franco Dalfovo,Sandro Stringari +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the presence of vortices significantly increases the stability of the condensate in the case of attractive interactions, and the critical angular velocity for production of vorts is calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and dynamical properties of superfluid helium: A density-functional approach
TL;DR: A novel density functional is presented, properly accounting for the static response function and the phonon-roton dispersion in the uniform liquid, used to study both structural and dynamical properties of superfluid helium in various geometries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous creation of Kibble-Zurek solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate
TL;DR: The Kibble-Zurek mechanism is known to be responsible for the spontaneous creation of solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate as mentioned in this paper, and has been shown to be capable of the spontaneous formation of defects in systems undergoing a second-order phase transition at a finite rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical Response of a Bose-Einstein Condensate to a Discontinuous Change in Internal State
Michael R. Matthews,David Hall,Deborah Jin,J. R. Ensher,Carl E. Wieman,Eric A. Cornell,Franco Dalfovo,C. Minniti,Sandro Stringari +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-photon transition is used to convert an arbitrary fraction of the atoms in a condensate to another state, and the authors obtain the ratio of the intraspecies scattering lengths for the two states, which is based on Gross-Pitaevskii theory.
