Abstract

An overview of the Bose-Einstein condensation of correlated atoms in a trap is presented by examining the effect of interparticle correlations to one- and two-body properties of the above systems at zero temperature in the framework of the lowest order cluster expansion. Analytical expressions for the one- and two-body properties of the Bose gas are derived using Jastrow-type correlation function. In addition numerical calculations of the natural orbitals and natural occupation numbers are also carried out. Special effort is devoted for the calculation of various quantum information properties including Shannon entropy, Onicescu informational energy, Kullback-Leibler relative entropy and the recently proposed Jensen-Shannon divergence entropy. The above quantities are calculated for the trapped Bose gases by comparing the correlated and uncorrelated cases as a function of the strength of the short-range correlations. The Gross-Piatevskii equation is solved giving the density distributions in position and momentum space, which are employed to calculate quantum information properties of the Bose gas.
