The apparatus and procedure required to generate a pure Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) consisting of about half a million 87Rb atoms at a temperature of <60 nK with a phase density of >54 is described. The atoms are first laser cooled in a vapour cell magneto-optical trap (MOT) and subsequently transferred to an ultra-low pressure MOT. The atoms are loaded into a QUIC trap consisting of a pair of quadrupole coils and a Ioffe coil that generates a small finite magnetic field at the trap energy minimum to suppress Majorana transitions. Evaporation induced by an RF field lowers the temperature permitting the transition to BEC to be observed by monitoring the free expansion of the atoms after the trapping fields have been switched off.PACS Nos.: 03.75.Fi, 05.30.Jp, 32.80.Pj, 64.60.–i

The simple alpha-cluster model was used for the consideration of the chain states and Bose-Einstein condensation in the light self-conjugated nuclei. Obtained results were compared with predictions of the shell-model for the deformed nuclei, with calculations based on Gross-Pitaevskii equation and with recent experimental results.

We discuss the possibility for a moving droplet of excitons and phonons to form a coherent state inside the packet. We describe such an inhomogeneous state in terms of Bose–Einstein condensation and prescribe it a macroscopic wave function. Existence and, thus, coherency of such a Bose-core inside the droplet can be checked experimentally if two moving packets are allowed to interact.

Although atomic Bose gases are experimentally investigated in the dilute regime, interparticle interactions play an important role on the transition temperatures of Bose–Einstein condensation. In this study, Bose–Einstein condensation is handled using fractional calculus for a Bose gas consisting of interacting bosons which are trapped in a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. In this frame, in order to introduce the nonextensive effect, fractionally generalized Bose–Einstein distribution function which features Mittag–Leffler function is adopted. The dependence of the transition temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation on α (a measure of fractality of space) has been established. The transition temperatures for the dilute 87 Rb , 23 Na and 7 Li atomic gases have been obtained in consistent with experimental data and the nature of the interactions in the Bose–Einstein condensate has been enlightened. In the course of our investigations, we have arrived to the conclusion that for α < 1 attractive interactions and for α > 1 repulsive interactions are predominant.

The condensate number distribution during the transition of a dilute, weakly interacting gas of N = 200 bosonic atoms into a Bose–Einstein condensate is modeled within number conserving master equation theory of Bose–Einstein condensation. Initial strong quantum fluctuations occuring during the exponential cycle of condensate growth reduce in a subsequent saturation stage, before the Bose gas finally relaxes towards the Gibbs–Boltzmann equilibrium.

Abstract We recall the experimental data of one-dimensional axial propagation of sound near the center of the Bose-Einstein condensate cloud, which used the optical dipole force method of a focused laser beam and rapid sequencing of nondestructive phase-contrast images. We reanalyze these data within the general quantum fluid framework but without model-specific theoretical assumptions; using the standard best fit techniques. We demonstrate that some of their features cannot be explained by means of the perturbative two-body approximation and Gross-Pitaevskii model, and conjecture possible solutions.

Abstract We study Bose-Einstein condensation of comparatively small numbers of atoms trapped by a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. Under the assumption that grand canonical statis­tics applies, we derive analytical expressions for the condensation temperature, the ground state occupation, and the specific heat capacity. For a gas of TV atoms the condensation temperature is proportional to N1/3, apart from a downward shift of order N-1/3. A signature of the condensation is a pronounced peak of the heat capacity. For not too small N the heat capacity is nearly discon­tinuous at the onset of condensation; the magnitude of the jump is about 6.6 N k. Our continuum approximations are derived with the help of the proper density of states which allows us to calculate finite-AT-corrections, and checked against numerical computations.

We have studied theoretically the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of two-dimensional excitons in a ring with a random variation of the effective exciton potential along the circumference. We derive a nonlinear Gross-Pitaevkii equation (GPE) for such a condensate, which is valid even in the presence of a weak magnetic field. For several types of the random potentials our numerical solution of the ground state of the GPE displays a necklace-like structure. This is a consequence of the interplay between the random potential and a strong nonlinear repulsive term of the GPE. We have investigated how the mean distance between modulation peaks depends on properties of the random potentials.
