Using a sum rule approach we calculate the frequency shifts of the quadrupole oscillations of a harmonically trapped Bose gas due to the presence of a quantized vortex. Analytic results are obtained for positive scattering lengths and large…
We consider two regimes where a trapped Bose gas behaves as a one-dimensional system. In the first one the Bose gas is microscopically described by 3D mean field theory, but the trap is so elongated that it behaves as a 1D gas with respect…

The macroscopic quantum states of a condensed neutral Bose gas in one-dimensional power-law traps are obtained by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically. A suitable candidate for a trial wave function for the variational…
We study the properties of a Bose-Einstein condensed cloud of atoms with negative scattering length confined in a harmonic trap. When a realistic non local (finite range) effective interaction is taken into account, we find that, besides…

Quantum sensors based on matter-wave interferometry are promising candidates for high-precision gravimetry and inertial sensing in space. The favorable source for the coherent matter waves in these devices are Bose-Einstein condensates. A…
The resonant formation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is studied. These modes represent nonground-state Bose condensates. The methods of describing the spectrum of the nonlinear modes are discussed. The…
Based on the method of matched asymptotic expansion and on a time-dependent variational analysis, we study the dynamics of a vortex in the large-condensate (Thomas-Fermi) limit. Both methods as well as an analytical solution of the…

Current magnetic traps can be made so anisotropic that the atomic gas trapped inside behaves like quasi one or two dimensional system. Unlike the homogeneous case, quantum phase fluctuations do not destroy macroscopic off-diagonal order of…
