Abstract

Bose–Einstein condensation predicts that, under certain conditions (in particular extremely low temperature), all particles will condense into one state. Some of the physical background is surveyed in this chapter. The Gross–Pitaevskii approximation for dilute systems is also discussed. Variational problems appear here naturally, as the quantum mechanical ground state is of interest. In connection with positive temperature, related probabilistic models, based on interacting Brownian motions in a trapping potential, are introduced. Again, large deviation techniques are used to determine the mean occupation measure, both for vanishing temperature and large particle number.
