Bose-Einstein condensation from a rotating thermal cloud: Vortex nucleation and lattice formation
Bose-Einstein condensation from a rotating thermal cloud: Vortex nucleation and lattice formation
We develop a stochastic Gross-Pitaveskii theory suitable for the study of Bose-Einstein condensation in a rotating dilute Bose gas. The theory is used to model the dynamical and equilibrium properties of a rapidly rotating Bose gas quenched through the critical point for condensation, as in the experiment of Haljan et …
