Abstract

These notes present simple theoretical approaches to study Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped atomic gases and their comparison to recent experimental results : - the ideal Bose gas model - Fermi pseudopotential to model the atomic interaction potential - finite temperature Hartree-Fock approximation - Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the condensate wavefunction - what we learn from a linearization of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation - Bogoliubov approach and thermodynamical stability - phase coherence properties of Bose-Einstein condensates - symmetry breaking description of condensates
