The simple alpha-cluster model was used for the consideration of the chain states and Bose-Einstein condensation in the light self-conjugated nuclei. Obtained results were compared with predictions of the shell-model for the deformed nuclei, with calculations based on Gross-Pitaevskii equation and with recent experimental results.

Abstract For more than half a century, the structure of $^{12}$C, such as the ground band, has been understood to be well described by the three $\alpha$ cluster model based on a geometrical crystalline picture. On the contrary, recently it has been claimed that the ground state of $^{12}$C is also well described by a nonlocalized cluster model without any of the geometrical configurations originally proposed to explain the dilute gas-like Hoyle state, which is now considered to be a Bose–Einstein condensate of $\alpha$ clusters. The challenging unsolved problem is how we can reconcile the two exclusive $\alpha$ cluster pictures of $^{12}$C, crystalline vs. nonlocalized structure. We show that the crystalline cluster picture and the nonlocalized cluster picture can be reconciled by noticing that they are a manifestation of supersolidity with properties of both crystallinity and superfluidity. This is achieved through a superfluid $\alpha$ cluster model based on effective field theory, which treats the Nambu–Goldstone zero mode rigorously. For several decades, scientists have been searching for a supersolid in nature. Nuclear $\alpha$ cluster structure is considered to be the first confirmed example of a stable supersolid.

We discuss the possibility for a moving droplet of excitons and phonons to form a coherent state inside the packet. We describe such an inhomogeneous state in terms of Bose–Einstein condensation and prescribe it a macroscopic wave function. Existence and, thus, coherency of such a Bose-core inside the droplet can be checked experimentally if two moving packets are allowed to interact.

Although atomic Bose gases are experimentally investigated in the dilute regime, interparticle interactions play an important role on the transition temperatures of Bose–Einstein condensation. In this study, Bose–Einstein condensation is handled using fractional calculus for a Bose gas consisting of interacting bosons which are trapped in a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. In this frame, in order to introduce the nonextensive effect, fractionally generalized Bose–Einstein distribution function which features Mittag–Leffler function is adopted. The dependence of the transition temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation on α (a measure of fractality of space) has been established. The transition temperatures for the dilute 87 Rb , 23 Na and 7 Li atomic gases have been obtained in consistent with experimental data and the nature of the interactions in the Bose–Einstein condensate has been enlightened. In the course of our investigations, we have arrived to the conclusion that for α < 1 attractive interactions and for α > 1 repulsive interactions are predominant.

We investigate the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with the tilted bichromatical optical lattice potential for finding the dynamics of a Bose–Einstein condensate system under the Gaussian white noise. We construct the Poincare sections of system based on the relations between the system parameters and solution behaviors to understand how its shock wave like dynamic could be affected by the noise. Also the hierarchical cluster analysis method investigation of the system is presented.

The condensate number distribution during the transition of a dilute, weakly interacting gas of N = 200 bosonic atoms into a Bose–Einstein condensate is modeled within number conserving master equation theory of Bose–Einstein condensation. Initial strong quantum fluctuations occuring during the exponential cycle of condensate growth reduce in a subsequent saturation stage, before the Bose gas finally relaxes towards the Gibbs–Boltzmann equilibrium.

The apparatus and procedure required to generate a pure Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) consisting of about half a million 87Rb atoms at a temperature of <60 nK with a phase density of >54 is described. The atoms are first laser cooled in a vapour cell magneto-optical trap (MOT) and subsequently transferred to an ultra-low pressure MOT. The atoms are loaded into a QUIC trap consisting of a pair of quadrupole coils and a Ioffe coil that generates a small finite magnetic field at the trap energy minimum to suppress Majorana transitions. Evaporation induced by an RF field lowers the temperature permitting the transition to BEC to be observed by monitoring the free expansion of the atoms after the trapping fields have been switched off.PACS Nos.: 03.75.Fi, 05.30.Jp, 32.80.Pj, 64.60.–i

Abstract Observed well-developed $\alpha$ cluster states in $^{16}$O located above the four-$\alpha$ threshold are investigated from the viewpoint of Bose–Einstein condensation of $\alpha$ clusters by using a field-theoretical superfluid cluster model in which the order parameter is defined. The experimental energy levels are reproduced well for the first time by calculation. In particular, the observed 16.7 MeV $0_7^+$ and 18.8 MeV $0_8^+$ states with low-excitation energies from the threshold are found to be understood as a manifestation of the states of the Nambu–Goldstone zero-mode operators, associated with the spontaneous symmetry-breaking of the global phase, which is caused by the Bose–Einstein condensation of the vacuum 15.1 MeV $0^+_6$ state with a dilute well-developed $\alpha$ cluster structure just above the threshold. This gives evidence of the existence of the Bose–Einstein condensate of $\alpha$ clusters in $^{16}$O. It is found that the emergence of the energy level structure with a well-developed $\alpha$ cluster structure above the threshold is robust, almost independently of the condensation rate of $\alpha$ clusters under significant condensation rate. The finding of the mechanism that causes the level structure that is similar to $^{12}$C to emerge above the four-$\alpha$ threshold in $^{16}$O reinforces the concept of Bose–Einstein condensation of $\alpha$ clusters in addition to $^{12}$C.

We suggest that crucial effect on Bose-Einstein condensation in systems with attractive potential is three-body interaction. We investigate stationary solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with negative scattering length and a higher-order stabilising term in presence of an external parabolic potential. Stability properties of the condensate are similar to those for thermodynamic systems in statistical physics which have first order phase transitions. We have shown that there are three possible type of stationary solutions corresponding to stable, metastable and unstable phases. Results are discussed in relation to recently observed 7 Li condensate.

Abstract We recall the experimental data of one-dimensional axial propagation of sound near the center of the Bose-Einstein condensate cloud, which used the optical dipole force method of a focused laser beam and rapid sequencing of nondestructive phase-contrast images. We reanalyze these data within the general quantum fluid framework but without model-specific theoretical assumptions; using the standard best fit techniques. We demonstrate that some of their features cannot be explained by means of the perturbative two-body approximation and Gross-Pitaevskii model, and conjecture possible solutions.
