A dilute bose gas in a quasi two-dimensional harmonic trap and interacting with a repulsive two-body zero-range potential of fixed coupling constant is considered. Using the Thomas-Fermi method, it is shown to remain in the same uncondensed…
Bosonic atoms confined in optical lattices can exist in two different phases, Mott-insulator and superfluid, depending on the strength of the system parameters, such as the on-site interaction between particles and the hopping parameter.…
