Strongly Interacting Quantum gases using spin-Coherent state Representation

ORAL

Abstract

For strongly interacting boson gas, spin-coherent states representation may provide a useful description of the Bose-Einstein Condensate as it encodes fluctuations and depletion. We investigate the the non-linear evolution equation for the order parameter obtained using spin-coherent states. The equation is not of the GPE-type and exhibits local fluctuations and in the limit of small order parameter, it reduces to the GPE equation. We compare and contrast the quasi-particle excitation and the vortex excitations of this system with that of weakly interacting quantum gas described by GPE equation. For a variety of problems, implication of this description of quantum gases will be discussed.
