Abstract:
We study by variational means within the Gross-Pitaevskii 0 K formalism the dynamics of highly oblate Bose-Einstein condensates [1] and derive an effective two-dimensional equation which has a nonpolynomial nonlinearity. The derived equation describes the high-density (also known as Thomas-Fermi) regime of the condensate and relies on a q-Gaussian ansatz which accounts correctly both for the bulk of the condensate and its surface [2]. We compare our equation with its known one-dimensional version [3] derived for high-density condensates and the one- and two-dimensional equations derived for low-density condensates [4].
