The most salient features of the Bose-Einstein condensation of a magnetically confined alkali vapor is the diluteness of the gas and the extremely weak effective interactions. From a theoretical point of view, the interesting aspect is the potential formulation of the many-body quantum theory for a non-uniform and potentially non-equilibrium system founded entirely on microscopic physics. The crucial postulate is the rapid attenuation of many particle quantum correlations in the dilute system which can be motivated from universal considerations. In principle, it will be possible to provide direct comparison between theory and experiment over all temperature scales with no phenomenological parameters — a challenge facing the theoretical community in the near future. The dilute gas experiments provide an exciting stage on which to build bridges linking the theory of complex and collective phenomena in superconducting and superfluid systems, with the single particle microscopic physics described in quantum optics and laser physics.

The present thesis is devoted to the dynamics in open or closed manybodybosonic systems, with the use of beyond mean-eld methods.In the rst part, inspired by the state-of-the-art experiments, we study thedynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensation which is loaded in an optical latticewith localized loss channels for the atoms. We prove that the particularform of the dissipation can help us to control the many-body dynamics. Theloss allows the local manipulation of the system's coherence properties andcreates attractive xed points in the classical (mean-eld) phase space. Wepredict the dynamical creation of stable nonlinear structures like discretebright and dark solitons. Furthermore, for specic initial states, the systemsproduces highly entangled and long-living states, which are of high relevancefor practical applications. The rst part of this thesis ends with the study ofnon-equilibrium bosonic transport across optical one-dimensional lattices.In the second part, we present techniques for bosonic many-body systemswhich are based on path integrals. We analyze the Bose-Einstein condensationphenomenon by using tools from quantum information theory and eldtheory. Finally, we introduce a coherent state path integral formalism inthe continuum, which allows us the systematic development of approximatemethods for the study of bosons in optical lattices.

We consider a planar Hubbard model with three sites per primitive cell. This model is mapped into a magnetic Hamiltonian. The charged holes interact via the magnetic interaction. The effect of this interaction is to create a magnetic background for the holes. Defining new quasi-particles we find that the many-body interaction becomes attractive and gives rise to conventional superconductivity. At large hole concentrations the critical temperature is determined by the antiferromagnetic exchange between copper-copper. In addition, the Increase of hole concentration reduces the exchange coupling which vanishes at some critical values. At small hole concentrations the critical temperature is determined by the Bose Einstein condensation temperature.

We review the functional renormalization group (RG) approach to the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer to Bose–Einstein condensation (BCS–BEC) crossover for an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms. Formulated in terms of a scale-dependent effective action, the functional RG interpolates continuously between the atomic or molecular microphysics and the macroscopic physics on large length scales. We concentrate on the discussion of the phase diagram as a function of the scattering length and the temperature, which is a paradigm example for the non-perturbative power of the functional RG. A systematic derivative expansion provides for both a description of the many-body physics and its expected universal features as well as an accurate account of the few-body physics and the associated BEC and BCS limits.

We will study fermionic systems like atomic nuclei and bosonic systems like the correlated atoms in a trap from an information-theoretical point of view. The Shannon and Onicescu information measures are calculated for the above systems by comparing the correlated and uncorrelated cases as functions of the strength of the short range correlations. One-body and two-body density and momentum distributions are employed. Thus, the effect of short-range correlations on the information content is evaluated. The magnitude of distinguishability between the correlated and uncorrelated densities is also discussed employing suitable measures for the distance of states i.e. the well known Kullback–Leibler relative entropy and the recently proposed Jensen–Shannon divergence entropy. We will see that the same information-theoretical properties hold for quantum many-body systems obeying Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac (statistics).

A solvable model of a periodically driven trapped mixture of Bose–Einstein condensates, consisting of N1 interacting bosons of mass m1 driven by a force of amplitude fL,1 and N2 interacting bosons of mass m2 driven by a force of amplitude fL,2, is presented. The model generalizes the harmonic-interaction model for mixtures to the time-dependent domain. The resulting many-particle ground Floquet wavefunction and quasienergy, as well as the time-dependent densities and reduced density matrices, are prescribed explicitly and analyzed at the many-body and mean-field levels of theory for finite systems and at the limit of an infinite number of particles. We prove that the time-dependent densities per particle are given at the limit of an infinite number of particles by their respective mean-field quantities, and that the time-dependent reduced one-particle and two-particle density matrices per particle of the driven mixture are 100% condensed. Interestingly, the quasienergy per particle does not coincide with the mean-field value at this limit, unless the relative center-of-mass coordinate of the two Bose–Einstein condensates is not activated by the driving forces fL,1 and fL,2. As an application, we investigate the imprinting of angular momentum and its fluctuations when steering a Bose–Einstein condensate by an interacting bosonic impurity and the resulting modes of rotations. Whereas the expectation values per particle of the angular-momentum operator for the many-body and mean-field solutions coincide at the limit of an infinite number of particles, the respective fluctuations can differ substantially. The results are analyzed in terms of the transformation properties of the angular-momentum operator under translations and boosts, and as a function of the interactions between the particles. Implications are briefly discussed.

The model of light nuclei built from alpha particles is considered from the point of view of quasimolecular structure. Some properties of nuclei like binding energy, rotational bands and even Bose-Einstein condensation have simple semiclassical explanation in the framework of this model.

The low energy scattering of electrons by different neutral atoms has been treated by assuming that the atomic wave functions remain unchanged even at the presence of the scattered particle and by neglecting the exchange between the scattered electron and the bound electrons. The potential term in the differential equation of the scattered particle is exactly the atomic potential of the neutral atom and is approximated by analytical expressions, yielding the potential scattering equation. The variational treatments of Hulthén, Kohn and a related one suggested by Malik, are applied to solve this equation for a Hartree atom with l=0. The scattering by He, C and N is treated explicitly and the results of He indicate that in this way one may get some good result without going into the great complexity of the many body problem. It is further pointed out that the study of scattering by neutral atoms near zero energy under this model may serve as a possible mean to investigate the existence of different negative ions and their number of bound states. It seems from this point of view that He-, C- and N- for this model may exist and have one bound s-state.

AbstractWe suggest to subject anharmonically trapped Bose–Einstein condensates to sinusoidal forcing with a smooth, slowly changing envelope, and to measure the coherence of the system after such pulses. In a series of measurements with successively increased maximum forcing strength, one then expects an adiabatic return of the condensate to its initial state as long as the pulses remain sufficiently weak. In contrast, once the maximum driving amplitude exceeds a certain critical value there should be a drastic loss of coherence, reflecting significant heating induced by the pulse. This predicted experimental signature is traced to the loss of an effective adiabatic invariant, and to the ensuing breakdown of adiabatic motion of the system’s Floquet state when the many-body dynamics become chaotic. Our scenario is illustrated with the help of a two-site model of a forced bosonic Josephson junction, but should also hold for other, experimentally accessible configurations.

We investigate single-particle excitation properties in the normal state of a two-band superconductor or superfluid throughout the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) to Bose–Einstein-condensation (BEC) crossover, within the many-body T-matrix approximation for multichannel pairing fluctuations. We address the single-particle density of states and the spectral functions consisting of two contributions associated with a weakly interacting deep band and a strongly interacting shallow band, relevant for iron-based multiband superconductors and multicomponent fermionic superfluids. We show how the pseudogap state in the shallow band is hidden by the deep band contribution throughout the two-band BCS-BEC crossover. Our results could explain the missing pseudogap in recent scanning tunneling microscopy experiments in FeSe superconductors.
