We consider the dynamics of $N$ boson systems interacting through a pair potential $N^{-1} V_a(x_i-x_j)$ where $V_a (x) = a^{-3} V (x/a)$. We denote the solution to the $N$-particle Schr\"odinger equation by $\psi_{N, t}$. Recall that the…
A vortex in a quasi two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate is subject to the Magnus force and can be effectively described as a planar particle in a uniform magnetic field. Quantization of this effective particle leads to the lowest…
We consider two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interaction, described by the Gross-Pitaevskii functional. Minimizers of this functional exist only if the interaction strength $a$ satisfies $a < a^*= \|Q\|_2^2$, where…
