| contents | Quantum atom optics with Trapped Bose-Einstein condensates M. K. Olsen Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Both Bose-Einstein condensates and optical fields are composed of bosons, so that the majority of the processeswhich have long been studied in quantum and nonlinear optics have equivalents in the field of Bose-Einstencondensation. However, due to the masses of the condensed atoms, the confining potentials and the hugecollisional nonlinearities, the simpler theoretical approaches common to quantum optics can sometimes givemisleading answers when applied to condensates. In this work we describe some of the areas where simplifiedtreatments can be misleading, and compare and contrast the predictions of quantum many-body treatments withthose of the single-mode type treatments which have been so successful in quantum optics. 2004 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46434730 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.4A Vol.34 |
