Fluctuations are a key property of both classical and quantum systems. While the fluctuations are well understood for many quantum systems at zero temperature, the case of an interacting quantum system at finite temperature still poses…
We consider a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with and without synthetic "spin-orbit" interactions in two dimensions. Density- and phase-fluctuations of the condensate are included, allowing us to study the impact of thermal…

The notion of fluctuation indices, characterizing thermodynamic stability of statistical systems, is advanced. These indices are especially useful for investigating the stability of nonuniform and trapped atomic assemblies. The fluctuation…
The phase transition of Bose-Einstein condensation is studied in the critical regime, when fluctuations extend far beyond the length scale of thermal de Broglie waves. Using matter-wave interference we measure the correlation length of…

We review the phenomenon of equilibrium fluctuations in the number of condensed atoms in a trap containing N atoms total. We start with a history of the Bose-Einstein distribution, the Einstein-Uhlenbeck debate concerning the rounding of…

We quantify the effect of phase fluctuations on atom chip interferometry of Bose-Einstein condensates. At very low temperatures, we observe small phase fluctuations, created by mean-field depletion, and a resonant production of vortices…
Condensation of fluctuations is an interesting phenomenon conceptually distinct from condensation on average. One stricking feature is that, contrary to what happens on average, condensation of fluctuations may occurr even in the absence of…
We use magnetic levitation and a variable-separation dual optical plug to obtain clear spatial interference between two condensates axially separated by up to 0.25 mm -- the largest separation observed with this kind of interferometer.…
We present a new method of calculating the distribution function and fluctuations for a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of N interacting atoms. The present formulation combines our previous master equation and canonical ensemble…
We investigate numerically the momentum correlations in a two dimensional, harmonically trapped interacting Bose system at $T=0$ temperature, by using a particle number preserving Bogoliubov approximation. Interaction induced quantum…

We study numerically the low temperature behavior of a one-dimensional Bose gas trapped in an optical lattice. For a sufficient number of particles and weak repulsive interactions, we find a clear regime of temperatures where density…
We discuss effects of particle interaction on Bose condensation in inhomogeneous traps with and without optical lattice. Interaction pushes normal particles away from the condensate droplet, which is located in the center of the trap,…
Every Bose-Einstein condensate is in a highly entangled state, as a consequence of the fact that the particles in a condensate are distributed over space in a coherent way. It is proved that any two regions within a condensate of finite…
