The free Bose gas with attractive boundary conditions is an interesting toy model for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), because one has BEC already in one dimension. Here we study for the first time the imperfect Bose gas with these boundary conditions and prove rigorously the occurence of condensation.
Motivated by recent experiments with superradiant Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) we consider simple microscopic models describing rigorously the interference of the two cooperative phenomena, BEC and radiation, in thermodynamic equilibrium. Our resuts in equilibrium confirm the presence of the observed superradiant light scattering from BEC: (a) the equilibrium superradiance exists only below a certain transition temperature; (b) there is superradiance and matter-wave (BEC) enhancement due to the coherent coupling between light and matter.
We discuss metastable states in the mean-field version of the strong coupling BCS-model and study the evolution of a superconducting equilibrium state subjected to a dynamical semi-group with Lindblad generator in detailed balance w.r.t. another equilibrium state. The intermediate states are explicitly constructed and their stability properties are derived. The notion of metastability in this genuine quantum system, is expressed by means of energy-entropy balance inequalities and canonical coordinates of observables.
We study a solvable model of two types hard core Bose particles. A complete analysis is given of its equilibrium states including the proof of existence of Bose-Einstein condensation. The plasmon frequencies and the quantum normal modes corresponding to these frequencies are rigorously constructed. In particular we show a two-fold degeneracy of these frequencies. We show that all this results from spontaneous gauge symmetry breakdown.
