Bose-Einstein condensates

Density
Density contour in the plane z = 0. I have studied the dynamics of vortex lattice formation of a rotating trapped BEC by numerically solving the three-dimensional GPE. The animation shows that the condensate is elongated along the x-axis because of a small anisotropy. The elliptic cloud oscillates. The condensate's boundary surface becomes unstable, exciting surface waves on the surface.
