Classical fields approximation for cold weakly interacting bosons without free parameters

Other Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Classical fields approximation to cold weakly interacting bosons allows for a unified treatment of condensed and uncondensed parts of the system. Until now, however, the quantitative predictions were limited by a dependence of the results on a grid chosen for numerical implementation of the method. In this paper we propose replacing this unphysical ambiguity by an additional postulate: the temperature of the gas at thermal equilibrium should be the same as that of an ideal Bose gas with the same fraction of condensed atoms. As it turns-out, with this additional assumption, nearly all atoms are within the classical fields, thus the method applies to the whole system.
