EISBN 9780857291097
Preface.
Contents.
Introduction.
Bose systems.
Generalities.
CCR and boson fields.
States and Quasi-Free States.
Equilibrium States.
Variational Principle.
Energy-Entropy Balance Criterion.
Variational Principle for Solvable Models.
Bose Einstein Condensation (BEC).
Introductory Remarks.
Free Boson Gas and BEC.
BEC in Interacting Boson Gases.
Mean Field Bose Gas.
Super-radiance and Matter Wave Amplification.
Theory of Bogoliubov.
Condensation in Two-body Fully Interacting Models.
BEC in Traps.
Boson System Dynamics.
Reversible Dynamics.
Irreversible Dynamics.
This book offers a modern way of dealing with the problems of equilibrium states of Bose systems. Starting with the variation principle of statistical mechanics and the energy-entropy balance principle as equilibrium criteria, results for general boson systems and models are explicitly derived using simple functional analytic calculus. Bridging the gap between general theoretical physics and the phenomenological research in the field of Bose systems, this book provides an insight into the fascinating quantum world of bosons. Key topics include the occurrence of BEC and its intimate structural.
