Abstract

We describe the physical properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEc) confined by a three-dimensional harmonic plus cubic and quartic trap. To this end, we solve the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation within a variational approach in order to obtain a set of second ordinary differential equations for the condensate widths. We then discuss in detail the low-lying oscillation modes, in an anharmonic trap where the anharmonicity of the confining potential leads to significant effect on the collective excitations of the system.
