We study the problem of dimension reduction for the three dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) describing a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a strongly anisotropic harmonic trap. Since the gas is assumed to be in a strong…
We present a method to study the dynamics of a quasi-two dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate which contains initially many vortices at arbitrary locations. We present first the analytical solution of the dynamics in a homogeneous medium…
We present semiclassical descriptions of Bose-Einstein condensates for configurations with spatial symmetry, e.g., cylindrical symmetry, and without any symmetry. The description of the cylindrical case is quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D), in…
We assume the macroscopic wave function of a Bose-Einstein condensate as a superposition of Gaussian wave packets, with time-dependent complex width parameters, insert it into the mean-field energy functional corresponding to the…
Under suitable experimental conditions collective spin-wave excitations, magnons, form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) where the spins precess with a globally coherent phase. Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons has been reported in a few…
We derive an effective nonpolynomial Schrodinger equation (NPSE) for self-repulsive or attractive BEC in the nearly-1D cigar-shaped trap, with the transverse confining frequency periodically modulated along the axial direction. Besides the…
We propose Faraday waves as a probe for collective excitations in self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates (SGBECs). Using a semi-classical approach based on linear stability analysis of the Gross-Pitaevskii-Newton equations, we derive a…
We investigate the quantum tunneling of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a optical trap. We show that periodic pulses of coherent matter are emitted from the trap by using an oscillating energy barrier. Moreover, the emitted fraction…
We present an investigation of the fast decompression of a three-dimensional (3D) Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) at finite temperature using an engineered trajectory for the harmonic trapping potential. Taking advantage of the scaling…
We extend the "analogue spacetime" programme by investigating a condensed-matter system that is in principle capable of simulating the massive Klein--Gordon equation in curved spacetime. Since many elementary particles have mass, this is an…
We consider a weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) that is loaded into an optical lattice with a two-point basis, and described by a two-band Bose-Hubbard model with generic one-body and two-body terms. By first projecting the…
The realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in ultracold trapped gases has led to a revival of interest in that fascinating quantum phenomenon. This experimental achievement necessitated both extremely low temperatures and sufficiently…
Bose-Einstein-condensed gases in external spatially random potentials are considered in the frame of a stochastic self-consistent mean-field approach. This method permits the treatment of the system properties for the whole range of the…
Standard thermodynamical results of ideal Bose gases are used to study the possible formation of a cosmological Bose-Einstein condensate in Scalar Field Dark Matter models; the main hypothesis is that the boson particles were in thermal…
With use of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (or Gross-Pitaevskii) equation with strong repulsive cubic nonlinearity, dynamics of multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with a harmonic trap in 2 dimensions is investigated beyond the…
The expansion of Bose-Einstein condensates with quantized vortices is studied by solving numerically the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation at zero temperature. For a condensate initially trapped in a spherical harmonic potential, we…
Squeezed, nonclassical states are an integral tool of quantum metrology due to their ability to push the sensitivity of a measurement apparatus beyond the limits of classical states. While their creation in light has become a standard…
A simple pedagogical introduction to the effective action method of quantum field theory is given at a level suitable for beginning postgraduate students. It is shown how to obtain the effective potential at zero temperature from a…
We show that quantum dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in the weakly interacting regime can be geometrized by a Poincar\'e disk. Each point on such a disk represents a thermofield double state, the overlap between which equals the…
We develop a generic phenomenological model to describe the fluctuations on top of a non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate. Analytic expressions are obtained for the momentum distribution of the non-condensed cloud and for the…
