Abstract
The possibilities of applying tomographic techniques to a Bose–Einstein condensate to reconstruct its ground state are investigated by means of numerical simulations. Two situations for which the density-matrix elements can be retrieved from atom counting probabilities are considered. The methods presented here allow one to distinguish among various possible quantum states.
