The p=0 condensate is a myth

Quantum Gases 2010-08-24 v2

Abstract

Analyzing some of the basic aspects of the dynamics of two bosons (interacting through a central force) and their importance in determining the ground state of a system like liquid 4He^4He, it is unequivocally concluded that our conventional belief in the existence p=0p=0 condensate in the superfluid state of such systems [including the state of Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) of trapped dilute gases] is a myth.
