Hugenholtz–Pines relations and the critical temperature of a Rabi coupled binary Bose system

Abstract

Using a theoretical field Gaussian approximation we have studied Rabi coupled binary Bose system at low temperatures. We have derived extended Hugenholtz - Pines relations taking into account one body interaction (e.g. Rabi coupling) and studied the critical temperature $T_c$ of Bose-Einstein condensate transition. We have shown that, the shift of $T_c$ due to this interaction can not exceed $\sim 60 \%$ and goes to a plateau with increasing the parameter $\Omega_R/T_{c}^{0}$, where $\Omega_R$ is the intensity of the coupling and $T_{c}^{0}$ is the critical temperature of the system with $\Omega_R=0$. Moreover, the shift is always positive and does not depend on the sign of the one body interaction.
