Assuming the existence of a Bose-Einstein condensate composed of the majority of a sample of ultracold, trapped atoms, perturbative treatments to incorporate the non-condensate fraction are common. Here we describe how this may be carried…
We show that the stability of three-dimensional Skyrmions in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates depends critically on scattering lengths, atom numbers, trap rotation and trap anisotropy. In particular, for the $^{87}$Rb $|F=1,m_{f}=-1>$,…
