We analyse occupation number fluctuations of an ideal Bose gas in a trap which is isolated from theenvironment with respect to particle exchange (canonical ensemble). We show that in contrast to the predictions of thegrand- canonical ensemble, the counting statistics of particles in the trap ground state changes from monotonously decreasing above the condensation temperature to single-peaked below that temperature. For the exactly solvable case of a harmonic oscillator trapping potential in one spatial dimension we extract a Landau-Ginzburg functional which - despite the non- interacting nature of the system - displays the characteristic behaviour of a weakly interacting Bose gas. We also compare our findings with the usual treatment which is base on the grand-canonical ensemble. We show that for an ideal Bose gas neither are the grand-canonical and canonical ensemble thermodynamically equivalent, nor the grand-canonical ensemble can be viewed as a small system in diffusive contact with a particle reservoir.
Jumps in quantum theory
(1997)
In this paper we review the discussion about quantum jumps. We sketch the historical background before we present the recent revival of this problem originating in the field of atomic investigations. We present both the theoretical methods and their motivations, the relevance to experiments and an attempt at a preliminary discussion of the role of these developments in our fundamental understanding of quantum physics.
We discuss the exact particle number counting statistics of degenerate ideal Bose gases in the microcanonical, canonical, and grand-canonical ensemble, respectively, for various trapping potentials. We then invoke the Maxwell's Demon ensemble [P. Navez et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.(1997)] and show that for large total number of particles the root-mean-square fluctuation of the condensate occupation scales delta n0 proportional to [T/Tc]r Ns with scaling exponents r=3/2, s=1/2 for the 3D harmonic oscillator trapping potential, and r=1, s=2/3 for the 3D box. We derive an explicit expression for r and s in terms of spatial dimension D and spectral index sigma of the single- particle energy spectrum. Our predictions also apply to systems where Bose-Einstein condensation does not occur. We point out that the condensate fluctuations in the microcanonical and canonical ensemble respect the principle of thermodynamic equivalence.
We investigate localized periodic solutions (breathers) in a lattice of parametrically driven, nonlinear dissipative oscillators. These breathers are demonstrated to be exponentially localized, with two characteristic localization lengths. The crossover between the two lengths is shown to be related to the transition in the phase of the lattice oscillations.
High pressure X-ray diffraction, absorption, luminescence and Raman scattering study of Cs2MoS4

The pendant drop technique was used to determine p/A isotherms of docosanic acid spread on the drop surface of an aqueous polymer solution. Two water soluble polymers were used, poly(dimethyl-diallyl-ammoniumchloride) and sodium poly(styrene sulfonate-b-ethylethylene). By fast changes of the drop volume, the monolayers were compressed and dilated. The stress relaxation was monitored and surface rheological dilation parameters were obtained. It is shown that the fatty acid monolayer can be mechanically stabilized by both interacting anionic and cationic polymers. In the case of the anionic polymer, the interaction becomes more pronounced in the presence of salts in the subphase (counterions). Brewster angle microscopy shows that the typical tilt-orientation of crystalline domains of the fatty acid monolayers transforms into a more uniform and fluid-like structure caused by the polymer/monolayer interaction. The surface rheological behavior is dramatically influenced by the polymer binding. The interaction results in surface dilational viscoelastic properties and show that there is a strong resistance against expansion of the complex fatty acid/polymer layer.

Weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structure affects the determination of the cosmological deceleration parameter q0. We find that the lensing induced dispersions on truly standard candles are 0.04 and 0.02 mag at redshift z = 1 and z = 0.5, respectively, in a COBE-normalized cold dark matter universe with Omega 0 = 0.40, Lamda 0 = 0.6, H = 65 km s-1 Mpc-1, and sigma 8 = 0.79. It is shown that one would observe q0 = -0.395^{+0.125}_{-0.095} and q0 = - 0.398^{+0.048}_{-0.077} (the error bars are 2 sigma limits) with standard candles with zero intrinsic dispersion at redshift z = 1 and z = 0.5, respectively, compared to the truth of q0 = -0.400. A standard COBE normalized Omega 0 = 1 CDM model would produce three times as much variance and a mixed (hot and cold) dark matter model would lead to an intermediate result. One unique signature of this dispersion effect is its non-Gaussianity. Although the lensing induced dispersion at lower redshift is still significantly smaller than the currently best observed (total) dispersion of 0.12 mag in a sample of type Ia supernovae, selected with the multicolor light curve shape method, it becomes significant at higher redshift. We show that there is an optimal redshift, in the range z ~ 0.5--2.0 depending on the amplitude of the intrinsic dispersion of the standard candles, at which q0 can be most accurately determined.
