Monte Carlo simulation of Bose-Einstein condensation in a harmonic potential trap

Abstract

Bose-Einstein condensation has been attained using Monte Carlo simulation on non-interacting ideal bosons confined in a harmonic potential trap at near-zero temperature (~0K). A connection has been established between the cyclic paths originated by the interchange of identical bosons and condensation. At low temperatures, long cycles appear and condensation is obtained consequently. The simulated result is in perfect agreement with the corresponding theoretical findings.
