Abstract: | We present numerical results from a second-order quantum field theory of Bose-Einstein condensates applied to the 1997 JILA experiment Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 764 (1997)]]. Good agreement is found for the energies and decay rates for both the lowest-energy m=2 and m=0 modes. The anomalous behavior of the m=0 mode is due to experimental perturbation of the noncondensate. The theory is gapless and includes the coupled dynamics of the condensate and thermal cloud, the anomalous pair average, and all relevant finite size effects. |
