This is a less technical presentation of the ideas in quant-ph/9804035 [Phys Rev Lett 83 (1999), 1707-1710]. A second order phase transition induced by a rapid quench can lock out topological defects with densities far exceeding their equilibrium expectation values. This phenomenon is a generic prediction of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and can appear in a wide range of physical systems. We discuss it qualitatively in the context of trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensates, outline a simple quantitative theory based on the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, and briefly compare the results of quantum kinetic theory.

We review phase space techniques based on the Wigner representation that provide an approximate description of dilute ultra-cold Bose gases. In this approach the quantum field evolution can be represented using equations of motion of a similar form t
o the Gross-Pitaevskii equation but with stochastic modifications that include quantum effects in a controlled degree of approximation. These techniques provide a practical quantitative description of both equilibrium and dynamical properties of Bose gas systems. We develo
We present an exact many-body theory of ultracold fermionic gases for the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime of the BEC-BCS crossover. This is a purely fermionic approach which treats explicitely and systematically the dimers formed in the BEC r
egime as made of two fermions. We consider specifically the zero temperature case and calculate the first terms of the expansion of the chemical potential in powers of the density $n$. We derive first the mean-field contribution, which has the expected standard expression when it is written in terms of the dimer-dimer scattering length $a_M$. We go next in the expansion to the Lee-Huang-Yang order, proportional to $n^{3/2}$. We find the far less obvious result that it retains also the same expression in terms of $a_M$ as for elementary bosons. The composite nature of the dimers appears only in the next term proportional to $n^2$.
We solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study energy transfer from an oscillating `object to a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. Two regimes are found: for object velocities below a critical value, energy is transferred by excitation of phonons at
the motion extrema; while above the critical velocity, energy transfer is via vortex formation. The second regime corresponds to significantly enhanced heating, in agreement with a recent experiment.
Fluctuation-induced forces occur generically when long-ranged correlations (e.g., in fluids) are confined by external bodies. In classical systems, such correlations require specific conditions, e.g., a medium close to a critical point. On the other
hand, long-ranged correlations appear more commonly in certain non-equilibrium systems with conservation laws. Consequently, a variety of non-equilibrium fluctuation phenomena, including fluctuation-induced forces, have been discovered and explored recently. Here, we address a long-standing problem of non-equilibrium critical Casimir forces emerging after a quench to the critical point in a confined fluid with order-parameter-conserving dynamics and non-symmetry-breaking boundary conditions. The interplay of inherent (critical) fluctuations and dynamical non-local effects (due to density conservation) gives rise to striking features, including correlation functions and forces exhibiting oscillatory time-dependences. Complex transient regimes arise, depending on initial conditions and the geometry of the confinement. Our findings pave the way for exploring a wealth of non-equilibrium processes in critical fluids (e.g., fluctuation-mediated self-assembly or aggregation). In certain regimes, our results are applicable to active matter.
We examine the phase diagram of a Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms, interacting with an attractive pseudopotential, in a quadratic-plus-quartic potential trap rotating at a given rate. Investigating the behavior of the gas as a function of interacti
on strength and rotational frequency of the trap, we find that the phase diagram has three distinct phases, one with vortex excitation, one with center of mass excitation, and an unstable phase in which the gas collapses.
