Quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional perfect Bose gas: the second critical density and generalised condensation

In this letter we discuss a relevance of the 3D Perfect Bose gas (PBG) condensation in extremely elongated vessels for the study of anisotropic condensate coherence and the "quasi-condensate". To this end we analyze the case of exponentially anisotropic (van den Berg) boxes, when there are two critical densities $ρ_c < ρ_m$ for a generalised Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC). Here $ρ_c$ is the standard critical density for the PBG. We consider three examples of anisotropic geometry: slabs, squared beams and "cigars" to demonstrate that the "quasi-condensate" which exists in domain $ρ_c < ρ< ρ_m$ is in fact the van den Berg-Lewis-Pulé generalised condensation (vdBLP-GC) of the type III with no macroscopic occupation of any mode. We show that for the slab geometry the second critical density $ρ_m$ is a threshold between quasi- two-dimensional (quasi-2D) condensate and the three dimensional (3D) regime when there is a coexistence of the "quasi-condensate" with the standard one-mode BEC. On the other hand, in the case of squared beams and "cigars" geometries critical density $ρ_m$ separates quasi-1D and 3D regimes. We calculate the value of difference between $ρ_c, ρ_m$ (and between corresponding critical temperatures $T_m, T_c$) to show that observed space anisotropy of the condensate coherence can be described by a critical exponent $γ(T)$ related to the anisotropic ODLRO. We compare our calculations with physical results for extremely elongated traps that manifest "quasi-condensate".

Linear non-autonomous Cauchy problems and evolution semigroups

The paper is devoted to the problem of existence of propagators for an abstract linear non-autonomous evolution Cauchy problem of hyperbolic type in separable Banach spaces. The problem is solved using the so-called evolution semigroup approach which reduces the existence problem for propagators to a perturbation problem of semigroup generators. The results are specified to abstract linear non-autonomous evolution equations in Hilbert spaces where the assumption is made that the domains of the quadratic forms associated with the generators are independent of time. Finally, these results are applied to time-dependent Schrödinger operators with moving point interactions in 1D.

The effect of time-dependent coupling on non-equilibrium steady states

Consider (for simplicity) two one-dimensional semi-infinite leads coupled to a quantum well via time dependent point interactions. In the remote past the system is decoupled, and each of its components is at thermal equilibrium. In the remote future the system is fully coupled. We define and compute the non equilibrium steady state (NESS) generated by this evolution. We show that when restricted to the subspace of absolute continuity of the fully coupled system, the state does not depend at all on the switching. Moreover, we show that the stationary charge current has the same invariant property, and derive the Landau-Lifschitz and Landauer-Buttiker formulas.

Zeno product formula revisited

We introduce a new product formula which combines an orthogonal projection with a complex function of a non-negative operator. Under certain assumptions on the complex function the strong convergence of the product formula is shown. Under more restrictive assumptions even operator-norm convergence is verified. The mentioned formula can be used to describe Zeno dynamics in the situation when the usual non-decay measurement is replaced by a particular generalized observables in the sense of Davies.

Models with Recoil for Bose-Einstein Condensation and Superradiance

In this paper we consider two models which exhibit equilibrium BEC superradiance. They are related to two different types of superradiant scattering observed in recent experiments. The first one corresponds to the amplification of matter-waves due to Raman superradiant scattering from a cigar-shaped BE condensate, when the recoiled and the condensed atoms are in different internal states. The main mechanism is stimulated Raman scattering in two-level atoms, which occurs in a superradiant way. Our second model is related to the superradiant Rayleigh scattering from a cigar-shaped BE condensate. This again leads to a matter-waves amplification but now with the recoiled atoms in the same state as the atoms in the condensate. Here the recoiling atoms are able to interfere with the condensate at rest to form a matter-wave grating (interference fringes) which is observed experimentally.

A Dicke Type Model for Equilibrium BEC Superradiance

We study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the condensate of a Bose gas. In an earlier paper we considered the problem for two simple models showing the cooperative effect between Bose-Einstein condensation and superradiance. In this paper we formalise the model suggested by Ketterle et al in which the Bose condensate particles have a two level structure. We present a soluble microscopic Dicke type model describing a thermodynamically stable system. We find the equilibrium states of the system and compute the thermodynamic functions giving explicit formulae expressing the cooperative effect between Bose-Einstein condensation and superradiance.

Gibbs State Uniqueness for Anharmonic Quantum Crystal with a Nonpolynomial Double-Well Potential

We construct the Gibbs state for $ν$-dimensional quantum crystal with site displacements from $\R^d$, $d\geq 1$, and with a one-site \textit{non-polynomial} double-well potential, which has \textit{harmonic} asymptotic growth at infinity. We prove the uniqueness of the corresponding {\it Euclidean Gibbs measure} (EGM) in the \textit{light-mass regime} for the crystal particles. The corresponding state is constructed via a cluster expansion technique for an arbitrary temperature $T\geq 0$. We show that for all $T\geq 0$ the Gibbs state (correlation functions) is analytic with respect to external field conjugated to displacements provided that the mass of particles $m$ is less than a certain value $m_* >0$. The high temperature regime is also discussed.

Models for Equilibrium BEC Superradiance

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.

The Canonical Perfect Bose Gas in Casimir Boxes

We study the problem of Bose-Einstein condensation in the perfect Bose gas in the canonical ensemble, in anisotropically dilated rectangular parallelpipeds (Casimir boxes). We prove that in the canonical ensemble for these anisotropic boxes there is the same type of generalized Bose-Einstein condensation as in the grand-canonical ensemble for the equivalent geometry. However the amount of condensate in the individual states is different in some cases and so are the fluctuations.
