We study the Bose-Einstein condensates of trapped Bose gases in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We show that the ground state energy and ground states of the many-body quantum system are correctly described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the large particle number limit, and provide the optimal convergence rate. Our work extends the previous results of Lieb, Seiringer and Yngvason on the leading order convergence, and of Boccato, Brennecke, Cenatiempo and Schlein on the homogeneous gas. Our method relies on the idea of 'completing the square', inspired by recent works of Brietzke, Fournais and Solovej on the Lee-Huang-Yang formula, and a general estimate for Bogoliubov quadratic Hamiltonians on Fock space.
We give a new proof of uniqueness of solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy, first established by Erdos, Schlein and Yau, in a different space, based on space-time estimates.
We study asymptotic behaviour at time infinity of solutions close to the non-zero constant equilibrium for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in two and three spatial dimensions. We construct a class of global solutions with prescribed dispersive asymptotic behavior, which is given in terms of the linearized evolution.
We study the stability of the standing wave solutions of a Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar quantum gases and characterize their orbit. As an intermediate step, we consider the corresponding constrained minimization problem and establish existence, symmetry and uniqueness of the ground state solutions.
Bäcklund transformations are applied to study the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Supported by previous results, a class of Bäcklund transformations admitted by this equation are constructed. Schwartzian derivative as well as its invariance properties turn out to represent a key tool in the present investigation. Examples and explicit solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation are obtained.
We consider systems of $N$ bosons in $\mathbb{R}^3$, trapped by an external potential. The interaction is repulsive and has a scattering length of the order $N^{-1}$ (Gross-Pitaevskii regime). We determine the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum up to errors that vanish in the limit $N\to \infty$.
We investigate the asymptotic behavior at time infinity of solutions close to a non-zero constant equilibrium for the Gross-Pitaevskii (or Ginzburg-Landau Schroedinger) equation. We prove that, in dimensions larger than 3, small perturbations can be approximated at time infinity by the linearized evolution, and the wave operators are homeomorphic around 0 in certain Sobolev spaces.
We review some mathematical work on the Bose gas in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We start with the classical results by Lieb, Seiringer and Yngvason on the ground state energy and by Lieb and Seiringer on the existence of Bose-Einstein condensation. Afterwards, we discuss some more recent progress, based on a rigorous version of Bogoliubov theory.
We consider Bose gases consisting of $N$ particles trapped in a box with volume one and interacting through a repulsive potential with scattering length of the order $N^{-1}$(Gross-Pitaevskii regime). We determine the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum, up to errors vanishing as $N \to \infty$. Our results confirm Bogoliubov's predictions.
We derive the asymptotical dynamical law for Ginzburg-Landau vortices in an inhomogeneous background density under the Schrödinger dynamics, when the Ginzburg-Landau parameter goes to zero. New ingredients involve across the cores lower bound estimates and approximations.
This paper surveys various aspects of the hydrodynamic formulation of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation obtained via the Madelung transform in connexion to models of quantum hydrodynamics and to compressible fluids of the Korteweg type.
We consider Bose gases of $N$ particles in a box of volume one, interacting through a repulsive potential with scattering length of order $N^{1-κ}$, for $κ> 0$. Such regimes interpolate between the Gross-Pitaevskii and thermodynamic limits. Assuming that $κ$ is sufficiently small, we determine the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum of the system, up to errors vanishing in the limit of large $N$.
We consider the Gross--Pitaevskii equation on $\R^4$ and the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on $\R^3$ with non-vanishing boundary conditions at spatial infinity. By viewing these equations as perturbations to the energy-critical NLS, we prove that they are globally well-posed in their energy spaces. In particular, we prove unconditional uniqueness in the energy spaces for these equations.
We present a new, simpler proof of the unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the cubic Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy in $\R^3$. One of the main tools in our analysis is the quantum de Finetti theorem. Our uniqueness result is equivalent to the one established in the celebrated works of Erdös, Schlein and Yau, \cite{esy1,esy2,esy3,esy4}.
For discrete and continuous Gross-Pitaevskii energy functionals with a random background potential, we study the Gross-Pitaevskii ground state. We characterize a regime of interaction coupling when the Gross-Pitaevskii ground state and the ground state of the random background Hamiltonian asymptotically coincide.
We prove an adiabatic theorem for the non-autonomous Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the case of a weak trap. More precisely, we assume that the external potential decays suitably at infinity and admits exactly one bound state.
We prove the existence of scattering states for the defocusing cubic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchy in ${\mathbb R}^3$. Moreover, we show that an energy growth condition commonly used in the well-posedness theory of the GP hierarchy is, in a specific sense, necessary. In fact, we prove that without the latter, there exist initial data for the focusing cubic GP hierarchy for which instantaneous blowup occurs.
In this paper, we study solutions to the three-dimensional quintic Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy. We prove unconditional uniqueness among all small solutions in the critical space $\mathfrak{H}^1$ (which corresponds to $H^1$ on the NLS level). With slight modifications to the proof, we also prove unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the Hartree hierarchy without smallness condition. Our proof uses the quantum de Finetti theorem, and is an extension of the work by Chen-Hainzl-Pavlović-Seiringer \cite{CHPS}, and our previous work \cite{UniqueLowReg}.
We consider the (de)focusing cubic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchy on $\mathbb{R}$, which is an infinite hierarchy of coupled linear inhomogeneous PDE which appears in the derivation of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation from quantum many-particle systems. Motivated by the fact that the cubic NLS on $\mathbb{R}$ is an integrable equation which admits infinitely many conserved quantities, we exhibit an infinite sequence of operators which generate analogous conserved quantities for the GP hierarchy.
We consider a gas of $N$ bosons in a box with volume one interacting through a two-body potential with scattering length of order $N^{-1}$ (Gross-Pitaevskii limit). Assuming the (unscaled) potential to be sufficiently small, we show that the ground state of the system and all states with relatively small excitation energy exhibit complete Bose-Einstein condensation, with a uniform (i.e. $N$ independent) bound on the number of excitations.
In this paper, we establish the unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the cubic Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a low regularity Sobolev type space. More precisely, we reduce the regularity $s$ down to the currently known regularity requirement for unconditional uniqueness of solutions to the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation ($s\ge\frac{d}{6}$ if $d=1,2$ and $s>s_c=\frac{d-2}{2}$ if $d\ge 3$). In such a way, we extend the recent work of Chen-Hainzl-Pavlović-Seiringer.
This article consists of two parts. In the first part, we review the most recent proofs establishing quadratic Morawetz inequalities for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). We also describe the applications of these estimates to the problem of quantum scattering. In the second part, we generalize some of the methods developed for the NLS by many authors to the case of Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchies. In particular, we prove both regular and interaction Morawetz identities for the GP hierarchy, which appear here for the first time in the literature.
We perform a rigorous analysis of the anelastic approximation for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with $x$-dependent chemical potential. For general initial data and periodic boundary condition, we show that as $\eps\to 0$, equivalently the Planck constant tends to zero, the density $|ψ^{\eps}|^{2}$ converges toward the chemical potential $ρ_{0}(x)$ and the velocity field converges to the anelastic system. When the chemical potential is a constant, the anelastic system will reduce to the incompressible Euler equations. The resonant effects the singular limit process and it can be overcome becaus…
We consider solutions of the focusing cubic and quintic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchies. We identify an observable corresponding to the average energy per particle, and we prove that it is a conserved quantity. We prove that all solutions to the focusing GP hierarchy at the $L^2$-critical or $L^2$-supercritical level blow up in finite time if the energy per particle in the initial condition is negative. Our results do not assume any factorization of the initial data.
We consider the cubic and quintic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchies in $d\geq1$ dimensions, for focusing and defocusing interactions. We present a new proof of existence of solutions that does not require the a priori bound on the spacetime norm, which was introduced in the work of Klainerman and Machedon, \cite{klma}, and used in our earlier work, \cite{chpa2}.
We consider the semi-classical limit for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In order to consider non-trivial boundary conditions at infinity, we work in Zhidkov spaces rather than in Sobolev spaces. For the usual cubic nonlinearity, we obtain a point-wise description of the wave function as the Planck constant goes to zero, so long as no singularity appears in the limit system. For a cubic-quintic nonlinearity, we show that working with analytic data may be necessary and sufficient to obtain a similar result.
The paper is concerned with the existence and blow-up behavior of the minimizers for the 2D attractive Gross-Pitaevskii functional when the interaction strength increases to a critical value. Our results hold for all bounded external potential satisfying some general assumptions.
We consider systems of N bosons trapped on the two-dimensional unit torus, in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime, where the scattering length of the repulsive interaction is exponentially small in the number of particles. We show that low-energy states exhibit complete Bose-Einstein condensation, with almost optimal bounds on the number of orthogonal excitations.
We study the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases. Existence and uniqueness as well as the possible blow-up of solutions are studied. Moreover, we discuss the problem of dimension-reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrodinger equation.
The Cauchy problem for the Gross--Pitaevsky equation with quadratic nonlocal nonlinearity is reduced to a similar problem for the correspondent linear equation. The relation between symmetry operators of the linear and nonlinear Gross--Pitaevsky equations is considered.
The effective dynamics for a Bose-Einstein condensate in the regime of high dilution and subject to an external magnetic field is governed by a magnetic Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We elucidate the steps needed to adapt to the magnetic case the proof of the derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation within the "projection counting" scheme.
We consider the symmetry properties of an integro-differential multidimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a nonlocal nonlinear (cubic) term in the context of symmetry analysis using the formalism of semiclassical asymptotics. This yields a semiclassically reduced nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which can be treated as a nearly linear equation, to determine the principal term of the semiclassical asymptotic solution. Our main result is an approach which allows one to construct a class of symmetry operators for the reduced Gross-Pitaevskii equation. These symmetry operators are determin…
In this paper, we revise the derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation from the Heisenberg spin chain stressing physical aspects and all technicalities.
We consider systems of bosons trapped in a box, in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We show that low-energy states exhibit complete Bose-Einstein condensation with an optimal bound on the number of orthogonal excitations. This extends recent results obtained in \cite{BBCS1}, removing the assumption of small interaction potential.
The time dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation describes the dynamics of initially trapped Bose-Einstein condensates. We present a rigorous proof of this fact starting from a many-body bosonic Schroedinger equation with a short scale repulsive interaction in the dilute limit. Our proof shows the persistence of an explicit short scale correlation structure in the condensate.
A countable set of asymptotic space -- localized solutions is constructed by the complex germ method in the adiabatic approximation for the nonstationary Gross -- Pitaevskii equation with nonlocal nonlinearity and a quadratic potential. The asymptotic parameter is 1/T, where $T\gg1$ is the adiabatic evolution time. A generalization of the Berry phase of the linear Schrödinger equation is formulated for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For the solutions constructed, the Berry phases are found in explicit form.
We consider a gas of interacting bosons trapped in a box of side length one in the Gross-Pitaevskii limit. We review the proof of the validity of Bogoliubov's prediction for the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum. This note is based on joint work with C. Brennecke, S. Cenatiempo and B. Schlein.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Cauchy problem for the Gross-Pitaevskii infinite linear hierarchy of equations on $\mathbb{R}^n,$ $n \geq 1.$ We prove local existence and uniqueness of solutions in certain Sobolev type spaces $\mathrm{H}^α_ξ$ of sequences of marginal density operators with $α> n/2.$ In particular, we give a clear discussion of all cases $α> n/2,$ which covers the local well-posedness problem for Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy in this situation.
In this study, after we have briefly introduced the standard Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we have suggested fractional Gross-Pitaevskii equations to investigate the time-dependent ground state dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensation of weakly interacting bosonic particle system which can includes non-Markovian processes or non-Gaussian distributions and long-range interactions. Only we focused the time-fractional Gross-Pitaevskii equation and have obtained solutions of the standard Gross-Pitaevskii and time-fractional Gross-Pitaevskii equations for attractive and repulsive interactions in the…
We study the dipolar Gross-Piteavskii functional with the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction term without trapping potential and in the regime where the dipole-dipole interaction dominates the repulsive short-range interaction. We show that, above a critical mass, the functional admits minimizers and we prove their regularity and exponential decay. We also estimate the critical mass in terms of the parameters of the system.
We present a microscopic derivation of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation starting from an interacting N-particle system of Bosons. We prove convergence of the reduced density matrix corresponding to the exact time evolution to the projector onto the solution of the respective Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our work extends a previous result by one of us (P.P.[44]) to interaction potentials which need not to be nonnegative, but may have a sufficiently small negative part. One key estimate in our proof is an operator inequality which was first proven by Jun Yin, see [49].
We study the time-evolution of initially trapped Bose-Einstein condensates in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. Under a physically motivated assumption on the energy of the initial data, we show that condensation is preserved by the many-body evolution and that the dynamics of the condensate wave function can be described by the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. With respect to previous works, we provide optimal bounds on the rate of condensation (i.e. on the number of excitations of the Bose-Einstein condensate). To reach this goal, we combine the method of \cite{LNS}, where fluctuations a…
Using a new method [9] it is possible to derive mean field equations from the microscopic N-body Schrodinger evolution of interacting particles without using BBGKY hierarchies. Recently this method was used to derive the Hartree equation for singular interactions [4] and the Gross Pitaevskii equation without positivity condition on the interaction [10] where one had to restrict the scaling behaviour of the interaction. In this paper more general scalings shall be considered assuming positivity of the interaction.
Domain walls are minimizers of energy for coupled one-dimensional Gross--Pitaevskii systems with nontrivial boundary conditions at infinity. It has been shown that these solutions are orbitally stable in the space of complex $\dot{H}^1$ functions with the same limits at infinity. In the present work we adopt a new weighted $H^1$ space to control perturbations of the domain walls and thus to obtain an improved orbital stability result. A major difficulty arises from the degeneracy of linearized operators at the domain walls and the lack of coercivity.
In experiments, Bose-Einstein condensates are prepared by cooling a dilute Bose gas in a trap. After the phase transition has been reached, the trap is switched off and the evolution of the condensate observed. The evolution is macroscopically described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. On the microscopic level, the dynamics of Bose gases are described by the $N$-body Schrödinger equation. We review our article [BdS12] in which we construct a class of initial data in Fock space which are energetically close to the ground state and prove that their evolution approximately follows the Gross-Pita…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Gross-Pitaevskii infinite linear hierarchy of equations on $\mathbb{R}^n.$ By introducing a (F)-norm in certain Sobolev type spaces of sequences of marginal density matrices, we establish local existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions. Explicit space-time type estimates for the solutions are obtained as well. In particular, this (F)-norm is compatible with the usual Sobolev space norm whenever the initial data is factorized.
From the asymptotic expansion of the ground state of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the Thomas--Fermi limit given by Gallo and Pelinovsky in a previous work, we infer an asymptotic expansion of the kinetic, potential and total energy of the ground state. In particular, we give a rigorous proof of the expansion of the kinetic energy calculated by Dalfovo, Pitaevskii and Stringari in the case where the space dimension is 3. Moreover, we calculate one more term in this expansion, and we generalize the result to space dimensions 1 and 2.
We report on some recent results regarding the dynamical behavior of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, in the limit of a large number of particles. These results were obtained in \cite{ESY}, a joint work with L. Erd\H os and H.-T. Yau.
Quasi-periodic solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a periodic potential in dimension three are studied. It is proven that there is an extensive "non-resonant" set ${\mathcal G} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ such that for every $\vec k\in \mathcal G$ there is a solution asymptotically close to a plane wave $Ae^{i\langle{ \vec{k}, \vec{x} }\rangle}$ as $|\vec k|\to \infty $, given $A$ is sufficiently small.
We review probabilistic approaches to the Gross-Pitaevskii theory describing interacting dilute systems of particles. The main achievement are large deviations principles for the mean occupation measure of a large system of interacting Brownian motions in a trapping potential. The corresponding rate functions are given as variational problems whose solution provide effective descriptions of the infinite system.
We show that Bogoliubov theory correctly predicts the low-energy spectral properties of Bose gases in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We recover recent results from \cite{BBCS,BBCS4}. While our main strategy is similar to the one developed in \cite{BBCS,BBCS4}, we combine it with new ideas, taken in part from \cite{Hainzl,NT}; this makes our proof substantially simpler and shorter. As an important step towards the proof of Bogoliubov theory, we show that low-energy states exhibit complete Bose-Einstein condensation with optimal control on the number of orthogonal excitations.
We study a generalized dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii-type model arising in the description of exciton-polariton condensates. We derive global in-time existence results and various a-priori estimates for this model posed on the one-dimensional torus. Moreover, we analyze in detail the long-time behavior of spatially homogenous solutions and their respective steady states and present numerical simulations in the case of more general initial data. We also study the convergence to the corresponding adiabatic regime, which results in a single damped-driven Gross-Pitaveskii equation.
Quasi-periodic solutions of a nonlinear polyharmonic equation for the case $4l>n+1$ in $\R^n$, $n>1$, are studied. This includes Gross-Pitaevskii equation in dimension two ($l=1,n=2$). It is proven that there is an extensive "non-resonant" set ${\mathcal G}\subset \R^n$ such that for every $\vec k\in \mathcal G$ there is a solution asymptotically close to a plane wave $Ae^{i\langle{ \vec{k}, \vec{x} }\rangle}$ as $|\vec k|\to \infty $, given $A$ is sufficiently small.
We review some rigorous estimates for the ground state energy of dilute Bose gases. We start with Dyson's upper bound, which provides the correct leading order asymptotics for hard spheres. Afterwards, we discuss a rigorous version of Bogoliubov theory, which recently led to an estimate for the ground state energy in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime, valid up to second order, for particles interacting through integrable potentials. Finally, we explain how these ideas can be combined to establish a new upper bound, valid to second order, for the energy of hard spheres in the Gross-Pitaeavskii limit.…
