We consider an ultracold rotating Bose gas in a harmonic trap close to the critical angular velocity so that the system can be considered to be confined to the lowest Landau level. With this assumption we prove that the Gross-Pitaevskii…
The energy spectrum for an ultracold rotating Bose gas in a harmonic trap is calculated exactly for small systems, allowing the atoms to occupy several Landau levels. Two vortex-like states and two strongly correlated states (the Pfaffian…

Now that the low temperature properties of quantum-mechanical many-body systems (bosons) at low density, $\rho$, can be examined experimentally it is appropriate to revisit some of the formulas deduced by many authors 4-5 decades ago. For…
We study a system of penetrable bosons on a line, focusing on the high-density/weak-interaction regime, where the ground state is, to a good approximation, a condensate. Under compression, the system clusterizes at zero temperature, i.e.,…

Motivated by recent experiments, we model the dynamics of a condensed Bose gas in a rotating anisotropic trap, where the equations of motion are analogous to those of charged particles in a magnetic field. As the rotation rate is ramped…

This is based on 4 lectures given at the 13th Australian Physics Summer School, Australia National University, Canberra, Jan 17-28, 2000. The main topic is the theory of collective modes in a trapped Bose gas at finite temperatures. A…
Dilute Bose gases, cooled down to low temperatures below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature, form coherent ensembles described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Stationary solutions to the latter are topological coherent modes. The…
We consider a homogeneous 2D Bose gas with repulsive dipole-dipole interactions. The ground-state equation of state, calculated using the Diffusion Monte Carlo method, shows quantitative differences with predictions of commonly used…

A rotating superfluid such as a Bose-Einstein condensate is usually described by the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) model. An important issue is to determine from this model the properties of the quantized vortices that a superfluid nucleates when…
