Ultracold bose gases in 1D disorder: From lifshits glass to Bose-Einstein condensate

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study an ultracold Bose gas in the presence of 1D disorder for repulsive interatomic interactions varying from zero to the Thomas-Fermi regime. We show that for weak interactions the Bose gas populates a finite number of localized single-particle Lifshits states, while for strong interactions a delocalized disordered Bose-Einstein condensate is formed. We discuss the schematic quantum-state diagram and derive the equations of state for various regimes.
