Quantum Phase of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with an Arbitrary Number of Atoms
Abstract
We study the interference of two Bose-Einstein condensates within an elementary model. The detection of the atoms is modeled by adapting the standard theory of photon detection. Even though the condensates are taken to be in number states with no phases whatsoever, our stochastic simulations of atom detection produce interference patterns as would also be predicted on the basis of the phases of the macroscopic wave functions describing the condensates. In statistical mechanics terms, we have devised a method to analyze spontaneous symmetry breaking for an arbitrary (not necessarily larger) number of particles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
