Many-Body Schrödinger Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates

by Kaspar Sakmann

At extremely low temperatures, clouds of bosonic atoms form what is known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Recently, it has become clear that many different types of condensates -- so called fragmented condensates -- exist. In order to tell whether fragmentation occurs or not, it is necessary to solve the full many-body Schr?dinger equation, a task that remained elusive for experimentally relevant conditions for many years. In this thesis the first...
