Evolution Of Bose-Einstein Condensate Systems Beyond The Gross-Pitaevskii Equation, Yuli Lyanda-Geller Nov 2023

Evolution Of Bose-Einstein Condensate Systems Beyond The Gross-Pitaevskii Equation, Yuli Lyanda-Geller

Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund

While many phenomena in cold atoms and other Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) systems are often described using the mean-field approaches, understanding the kinetics of BECs requires the inclusion of particle scattering via the collision integral of the quantum Boltzmann equation. A rigorous approach for many problems in the dynamics of the BEC, such as the nucleation of the condensate or the decay of the persistent current, requires, in the presence of factors making a symmetry breaking possible, considering collisions with thermal atoms via the collision integral. These collisions permit the emergence of vorticity or other signatures of long-range order in the …
