The kinetics of nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are considered within the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. A systematic derivation is given for weak small-scale perturbations of a steady confined condensate state. This approach combines a wavepacket WKB description wit

We have studied a Bose-Einstein condensate of 87 Rb atoms under an oscillatory excitation. For a fixed frequency of excitation, we have explored how the values of amplitude and time of excitation must be combined in order to produce quantum turbulence in the condensate. Depending on the combination
The basic physics of a dilute trapped Bose gas reflects both the interparticle interactions and the quantum degeneracy. At low temperatures, nearly all the particles are in the condensate. The corresponding macroscopic wave function obeys the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation that describes t
