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

In this short review we present our recent results concerning the rotation of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates confined in quadratic or quartic potentials, and give an overview of the field. We first describe the procedure used to set an atomic gas in rotation and briefly discuss the physics of cond
Gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have become an important test bed for studying the dynamics of quantized vortices. In this work we use two-photon Doppler sensitive Bragg scattering to study the rotation of sodium BECs. We analyze the microscopic flow field and present laboratory measurement
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
The theory of resonant generation of nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates is extended to Bose-condensed systems at finite temperature. The generalization is based on the notion of representative statistical ensembles for Bose systems with broken global gauge symmetry. Self-consistent equations
