A detailed description of the statistical properties of a system of bosons in a harmonic trap at low temperature, which is expected to bear on the process of BE condensation, is given resorting only to the basic postulates of Gibbs and Bose, without assuming equipartition nor continuum statistics. Below Tc such discrete spectrum theory predicts for the thermo-dynamical variables a behavior different from the continuum case. In particular a new critical temperature Td emerges where the specific heat exhibits a λ-like spike.

In Part I, the Sanchez and de Fontaine formulation of the cluster variation method was used to study the dependence of the critical temperature and the high temperature specific heat on the ratio of second neighbour to nearest neighbour interaction energy. This method can be extended to find solutions for the ordered state. The dependence of the low temperature specific heat on the interaction energy ratio is studied. As with the critical temperature and high T specific heat studies, it is found that both the sign and magnitude of ex affect the low temperature specific heat.

We consider a homogeneous nonideal Bose gas in equilibrium at nonzero temperature below the critical temperature Tc in the framework of thermal field theory. Quantum corrections up to second order are calculated, which are shown to be crucial in obtaining the correct behavior in thermodynamic quantities such as the specific heat.

We present numerical simulations to unravel the dynamics associated with the creation of a vortex in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), from another nonrotating BEC using two-photon Raman transition with Gaussian (G) and Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) laser pulses. In particular, we consider BEC of Rb atoms at their hyperfine ground states confined in a quasi two dimensional harmonic trap. Optical dipole potentials created by G and LG laser pulses modify the harmonic trap in such a way that density patterns of the condensates during the Raman transition process depend on the sign of the generated vortex. We investigate the role played by the Raman coupling parameter manifested through dimensionless peak Rabi frequency and intercomponent interaction on the dynamics during the population transfer process and on the final population of the rotating condensate. During the Raman transition process, the two BECs tend to have larger overlap with each other for stronger intercomponent interaction strength.

At finite temperature, a Fermi gas can have states that simultaneously hold a particle and a hole with a finite probability. This gives rise to a new set of diagrams that are absent at zero temperature. The so called "anomalous" diagram is just one of the new diagrams. We have already studied the contribution of these new diagrams to the thermodynamic potential (Phys. Lett.A224, 127 (1996)). Here we continue that work and calculate their effect on the specific heat. We will also calculate the finite temperature contribution of the ring diagrams. We conclude that the ln T behavior of the specific heat due to exchange gets canceled by the new contribution of the new diagrams, and that screening is not essential to resolve this anomaly.
