Introduction/Overview
• Builds on formalism by CWGardiner [PRA 56 1414(1997)] and Castin and Dum[PRA 57 3008 (1998)]
• Used by Morgan andcoworkers to study finite TBEC excitations
• Also suitable for dynamicsleading to condensatedepletion [eg Gardiner,Jaksch, Dum, Cirac, ZollerPRA 62 023612 (2000)]

Low-Temperature Limit
• Consider a dilute gas ofinteracting bosonic atoms
• If “nearly all” atomsoccupy one mode, useGross-Pitaevskii equation
• Quantum field classical field (justified in various ways)
• What if we wish to account for “other” atoms?

Partition
• Can partition system/field operator into condensateand non-condensate components
• Commonly, define condensate and non-condensate (symmetry breaking)

Quantum Noise 2007, Caloundra13/5/2007–17/5/2007
Symmetry Breaking vs Number Conservation
• Symmetry breaking Requires coherent superposition ofdifferent numbers of particles
• Number conserving theories demand a fixed number ofparticles
• Experimentally, total particle number only knownstatistically, but shot-to-shot coherences are unlikely

Onsager-Penrose Approach
• Define condensate mode as eigenfunction with largesteigenvalue of 1-body density matrix
• Partition field operator
• Assumption that non-condensate “small” results in Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Fluctuations About a Mean
• Fluctuations assert their existence by having anobservable effect, through pair averages (eg T=0quantum depletion)
• Non-steady-state evolution of BdG+GPE equationscan imply unconstrained growth of non-condensate
• No back-action on condensate

Hartree-Fock Factorization
• Morgan [J Phys B 33 3847 (2000)] found HFB factorizationsof cubic products omitted terms as large as terms ofquartic origin which were retained
• However …
o We have neglected quartic terms altogether
o Cubic terms eliminated in the steady state
