Abstract

We provide an overview of the effects of interactions in Bose-condensed gases. We focus on phenomena that have been explored in ultracold atom experiments, covering both tuneable contact interactions and dipolar interactions. Our discussion includes: modifications to the ground state and excitation spectrum, critical behaviour near the Bose--Einstein condensation temperature, the unitary regime where the interactions are as strong as allowed by quantum mechanics, quantum droplets in mixtures, and supersolids in dipolar gases.
