Abstract
We investigate by means of numerical simulations the possibilities of tomographic techniques applied to a Bose-Einstein condensate in order to reconstruct its ground state. Essentially, two scenarios are considered for which the density matrix elements can be retrieved from atom counting probabilities. The methods presented here allow to distinguish among various possible quantum states.
