2. Lectures: 1)Basic concepts for BEC 2)Excitations – collective modes Thermodynamics – Global variables 3)Vortices and Quantum turbulence Future directions

3. BEC is a superfluid

5. Can one make an analysis of tem Thermodynamics of an heterogeneous system using a single marcoscopic variable? VOLUMEPRESSURE  ( , ,  ) = Extensive x Intensive

7. Alternatively, we can use the famous Gibbs-Duhem relation: The Gibbs-Duhem Relation P is a fundamental quantity when expressed in terms of T and  - contains all the thermodynamics information of the system.

8. Taking T constant, N/V Consider an atomic gas of bosons of mass m in a trap The Gibbs-Duhem Relation The volume parameter is Where is the density profile measured.

10. To obtain P: 1.T  Tc – Thermal Cloud 2.T < Tc – Condesate fraction 3.Extrapolation to T  0 Measurements in three situations Measurement of Processing to obtain Based on Y. Castin, and R. Dum: Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5315 (1996).

11. Double component velocity distribution Thomas-Fermi profile for the center Experimental data Total fit Gaussian fit for the wings

12. Overrall view across the transition Varying the trapped number of atoms since  is constant: variation of N  variation of density

13. The transition line P vs T – Phase Diagram It occurs from the discontinuity of the derivative of Pc vs Tc The relation Pc vs Tc is not like

14. Extrapolation T  0 For zero temperature:

15. Extrapolation T  0 Taking the points after the transition we could extrapolate the curves to zero:

16. Dependence of P(T  0) with Number Finally we plot the zero temperature harmonic pressure as a function of N 7/5 :

17. Pressure T  0

18. 1-By knowing the equation of state one can measure the heat capacity at constant harmonic volume: This measurement requires the possibility to adiabatically change the harmonic volume, i.e., change the frequencies of the harmonic trap. This can be done in an optical trap since: Perspectives

19. 2-Another relevant quantity that could be measured is the isothermal compressibility: -both must diverge at the critical temperature.
