In this paper we develop an analytic expression for the critical temperature for a gas of ideal bosons in a combined harmonic lattice potential, relevant to current experiments using optical lattices. We give corrections to the critical…
The critical temperature and condensate fraction of a trapped interacting Bose gas are investigated when both atom-atom interaction and finite-size effects are taken into account. Canonical ensemble is used to obtain the equations on the…
We present theory for the critical temperature of a Bose gas in a combined harmonic lattice potential based on a mean-field description of the system. We develop practical expressions for the ideal-gas critical temperature, and corrections…
We relate the entropies of ensembles of atoms in optical lattices to atoms in simple traps. We then determine which ensembles of lattice-bound atoms will adiabatically transform into a Bose condensate. This shows a feasible approach to Bose…
A dense Bose gas with hard-core interaction is considered in an optical lattice. We study the phase diagram in terms of a special mean-field theory that describes a Bose-Einstein condensate and a Mott insulator with a single particle per…
The leading-order effect of interactions on a homogeneous Bose gas is theoretically predicted to shift the critical temperature by an amount \Delta\Tc = # a_{scatt} n^{1/3} T_0 from the ideal gas result T_0, where a_{scatt} is the…
The shift of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature for a homogenous weakly interacting Bose gas in leading order in the scattering length `a' is computed for given particle density `n.' Variational perturbation theory is used to resum…
Ultracold Bose gases in one-dimensional optical lattices constitute an important benchmark problem in the study of strongly interacting many-body quantum phases. Here we present a combined experimental and theoretical study of their…
We experimentally study the energy-temperature relationship of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by transferring a known quantity of energy to the condensate and measuring the resulting temperature change. We consider two…
We suggest a practical way to estimate the condensate fraction of an interacting dilute Bose gas confined by an external harmonic potential as a function of temperature and scattering length. It shows that an increase of the scattering…
We review recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective field theory methods are used to formulate a systematic perturbative framework that can be used to…
In response to a recent manuscript [cond-mat/0609685] on the analysis of interference patterns produced by ultracold atoms released from an optical lattice, we point out that in the presence of a Bose-Einstein condensate the interference…
Bose condensation is usually a low temperature phenomenon due to a low particle number density. When the number density is kept large compared to the inverse Compton volume, Bose condensation can occur at a temperature much higher than the…
We develop a finite temperature perturbation theory (beyond the mean field) for a Bose-condensed gas and calculate temperature-dependent damping rates and energy shifts for Bogolyubov excitations of any energy. The theory is generalized for…
Improving perturbation theory via a variational optimization has generally produced in higher orders an embarrassingly large set of solutions, most of them unphysical (complex). We introduce an extension of the optimized perturbation method…
We use a coherent Bragg diffraction method to impart an external momentum to ultracold bosonic atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. This method is based on the application of a single light pulse, with conditions where…
One of the most remarkable recent developments in the study of ultracold Bose gases is the observation of a reversible transition from a Bose Einstein condensate to a state composed of localized atoms as the strength of a periodic, optical…
We derive closed analytical expressions for the order parameter $\Phi (x)$ and for the chemical potential $\mu $ of a Bose-Einstein Condensate loaded into a harmonically confined, one dimensional optical lattice, for sufficiently weak,…
Using a 3D spin-dependent optical lattice, we study thermalization and energy exchange between two ultracold Bose gases, one of which is bound to the lattice and another that is free from the lattice potential. Disruption of inter-species…
We present a quantitative finite temperature analysis of a recent experiment with Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices, in which the dependence of the coherence of bosons on the inter-species interaction was analyzed. Our theory…
