In this work we investigate the quantum dynamics of a model for two single-mode Bose--Einstein condensates which are coupled via Josephson tunneling. Using direct numerical diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian, we compute the time evolution…
We have measured the quantum depletion of an interacting homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate, and confirmed the 70-year old theory of N.N. Bogoliubov. The observed condensate depletion is reversibly tuneable by changing the strength of the…

In experiments, Bose-Einstein condensates are prepared by cooling a dilute Bose gas in a trap. After the phase transition has been reached, the trap is switched off and the evolution of the condensate observed. The evolution is…

We present an action that can be used to study variationally the collapse of Bose Einstein condensates. This action is real, even though it includes dissipative terms. It adopts long range interactions between the atoms, so that there is…
Quantum fluctuations in time-dependent, harmonically-trapped Bose-Einstein condensates are studied within Bogoliubov theory. An eigenmode expansion of the linear field operators permits the diagonalization of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes…
We introduce a time-dependent projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation to describe a partially condensed homogeneous Bose gas, and find that this equation will evolve randomised initial wave functions to equilibrium. We compare our numerical…
We show that elastic collisions between atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive interactions lead to an explosion that ejects a large fraction of the collapsing condensate. We study variationally the dynamics of this explosion…
We investigate the collapse dynamics of a dipolar condensate of 52Cr atoms when the s-wave scattering length characterizing the contact interaction is reduced below a critical value. A complex dynamics, involving an anisotropic, d-wave…
