Today, we will be mostly concerned with the extended (" infinite" ) BE gas/liquid
Microscopic theory well developed over nearly 60 past years

Interacting atoms

Importance of the interaction – synopsis
Without interaction, the condensate would occupy the ground state of the oscillator
(dashed - - - - -)
In fact, there is a significant broadening of the condensate of 80 000 sodium atoms in the experiment by Hau et al. (1998),
perfectly reproduced by the solution of the GP equation

This is an educated way, similar to (almost identical with) the HARTREE APPROXIMATION we know for many electron systems.
Most of the interactions is indeed absorbed into the mean field and what remains are explicit quantum correlation corrections

Gross-Pitaevskii equation at zero temperatureConsider a condensate. Then all occupied orbitals are the same and we have a single self-consistent equation for a single orbital
Putting
we obtain a closed equation for the order parameter:
This is the celebrated Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Field operator for spin-less bosons – cont'd Important special case – an extended homogeneous system Translational invariance suggests to use the
Plane wave representation (BK normalization)
The other form is made possible by the inversion symmetry (parity)
important, because the combination
corresponds to the momentum transfer by
Commutation rules do not involve a - function, because the BK momentum is discrete, albeit quasi-continuous:

Even a weakly interacting gas exhibits superfluidity; the ideal gas does not.
The phonons are actually Goldstone modes corresponding to a broken symmetry
The dispersion law has no roton region, contrary to the reality in 4He
The dispersion law bends upwards quasi-particles are unstable, can decay

Particles and quasi-particles
At zero temperature, there are no quasi-particles, just the condensate.
Things are different with the true particles. Not all particles are in the condensate, but they are not thermally agitated in an incoherent way, they are a part of the fully coherent ground state
The total fraction of particles outside of the condensate is

The Bogolyubov theory is the lowest order correction to the mean field (Gross-Pitaevskii) approximation
It provides thus the criterion for the validity of the mean field results
It is the simplest genuine field theory for quantum liquids with a condensate

Notes to the contents of the Bogolyubov theory
The first consistent microsopic theory of the ground state and elementary excitations (quasi-particles) for a quantum liquid (1947)
The quantum condensate turns into the classical order parameter in the thermodynamic limit , , / const.n N V N V
The Bogolyubov transformation became one of the standard technical means for treatment of "anomalous terms" in many body Hamiltonians (…de Gennes)
Central point of the theory is the assumption†

HISTORICAL REMARK
The coherent states (not their name) discovered by Schrödinger as the minimum uncertainty wave packets, obtained by shifting the ground state of a harmonic oscillator.
These states were introduced into the quantum theory of the coherence of light by Roy Glauber (NP 2005). Hence the name.
The uses of the coherent states in the many body theory and quantum field theory have been manifold.

OUR BASIC DEFINITION
About the coherent states
If a particle is removed from a coherent state, it remains unchanged (cf. the Pitaevskii requirement above). It has a rather uncertain particle number, but a reasonably well defined phase
