Abstract
Studies of the density profiles and low-energy excitations of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in magnetic traps1 have clearly established that much of the basic physics is correctly expressed in mean-field theory, which gives a good account of BEC statics2 via the Gross–Pitaevskii or nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), and of low-energy excitations3 by the Bogoliubov or random-phase approximation.4
