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
Theory of ultracold atomic Fermi gases
TL;DR: In this article, the physics of quantum degenerate atomic Fermi gases in uniform as well as in harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective, focusing on the effect of interactions that bring the gas into a superfluid phase at low temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The general theory of van der Waals forces
TL;DR: The van der Waals forces refer to the attractive forces acting between any two neutral atoms or molecules that are separated by distance large compared to their own dimensions, which decrease with distance according to a power law as mentioned in this paper.
MonographDOI
Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity
TL;DR: In this paper, a dilute hard-sphere Bose-Einstein condensate is modeled as an ohmic network of random resistors, and it is shown that the superfluidity transition is a percolation transition in d = 3, with critical exponent 1.7.
