简介: |
We investigate whether the many-body states of bosons in a generalized two-mode model with arbitrary long-range interactions and single- particle orbitals are coherent or fragmented. It is demonstrated that fragmentation can take place in a single trap for positive values of the interaction couplings, implying that the system is potentially stable. Fragmentation in terms of the single-particle density matrix is owed to a positive coupling constant in front of the boson pair exchange term in the Hamiltonian. As an application, we have derived fragmentation of the condensate in the weakly confining directions of quasi-1D respectively quasi-2D gases into mutually incoherent macroscopic pieces, upon increasing a dimensionless interaction measure beyond a critical value. Fragmented condensate many-body states in low-dimensional systems therefore occur well before the thermodynamic limit of infinite extension is reached, in which phase fluctuations of the matter wave field create an infinite number of non- macroscopic fragments. |
