Ground-state properties of bosons in three- and two-dimensional traps

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study trapped systems of bosons at zero temperature in three and two dimensions. Conditions are fulfilled for the application of Gross-Pitaevskii theory with a positive scattering length. Series expansions for ground-state properties are obtained in both the noninteracting and the strong-coupling (Thomas-Fermi) limits. From these expansions, analytic estimates are presented in the form of two-point Pad\'e approximants. We explicitly show the approximants for the total energy per particle and the chemical potential.
