Abstract:
Starting from the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional of the 3D Bose-Einstein Condensate, we derive approximately the energy functional and the effective coupling constant of the quasi-2D condensate. The evolution of the quasi-2D condensate wave function is studied by a variational method. Low energy excitation spectra for both positive and negative scattering lengths are analyzed. The condition of collapse instability of a quasi-2D Bose gas with attractive particle interaction is also proposed.
