A closer look at some proposed Gedanken-experiments on BECs promises to shed light on several aspects of reduction and emergence in physics. These include the relations between classical descriptions and different quantum treatments of…
Multiparticle effects in Bose-Einstein correlations are reviewed. It is shown that for a broad class of models they can be ignored in the low density limit, but often are significant (typically at the 10% level) for realistic denisties.
An ideal equilibrium Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) is usually considered in the grand canonical ($\mu V T$) ensemble, which implies the presence of the chemical equilibrium with the environment. However, in most experimental scenarios,…
We analyze spatio-temporal structures in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study the dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with mean-field interactions. A coherent structure ansatz yields a parametrically forced…

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne matter-wave interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy a slowly expanding wave function, display a large spatial coherence and can be engineered and probed…
