1302.5693 (Soheil Baharian et al.)

Correlations in lowest Landau level vortex states    [PDF]

Soheil Baharian, Gordon Baym
We show how the configuration-space form of the Bogoliubov ground state wave function of a bosonic condensate with a single vortex in a harmonic trap can be described in terms of bosonic Jastrow correlations. We then generalize this result to study the first effects of such correlations on a mean-field vortex lattice state and show that the included correlations lower the energy below that of the mean-field state. Although the reduction is relatively small, it is a precursor of the more general expected effect of correlations in describing the melting of the vortex lattice at large angular momentum per particle.
