Nonlinear Modes of a Macroscopic Quantum Oscillator

  • 30 July 1999
Abstract
We consider the Bose-Einstein condensate in a parabolic trap as a macroscopic quantum oscillator and describe, analytically and numerically, its collective modes as a nonlinear generalisation of the (symmetric and antisymmetric) Hermite-Gauss eigenmodes of a harmonic quantum oscillator.
