Part of the book series: Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics ((SSAOPP,volume 45))

A large number of effects related to the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) can be understood in terms of lowest order mean-field theory, whereby the entire system is assumed to be condensed, with thermal and quantum fluctuations completely ignored [1]. Such a treatment leads to the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation (GPE) [2] used extensively throughout this book. Although this theory works remarkably well for a broad range of experimental parameters, a more complete treatment is required for understanding various experiments, including experiments with solitons and vortices. Such treatments should include the dynamical coupling of the condensate to the thermal cloud, the effect of dimensionality, the role of quantum fluctuations, and should also describe the critical regime, including the process of condensate formation.
