Reviews

Bose-Einstein condensates serve as the starting point for most current experiments in the field of ultracold atom physics... They are also an essential ingredient for most theoretical studies in this area. The theory described in this book is thus highly relevant for all researchers working in this field. The original version of the author's book on Bose-Einstein condensation is a standard text in this field and highly regarded. I expect it to be read widely by graduate students and more senior researchers entering the field. I also expect it to be used extensively as a standard reference within the field. * Dieter Jaksch, University of Oxford * The earlier version of the textbook by these authors, Bose-Einstein Condensation (2003), is a remarkable achievement and a 'must have' for any physicist working on cold atoms or teaching Bose-Einstein Condensation. This revised version increases considerably the range and interest of the authors' already classical text. In particular, it includes much more on the Fermi gases, their superfluidity, and the BEC/BCS crossover. All these subjects have been the focus of tremendous experimental interest in recent years. A high quality comprehensive textbook like this one that addresses this expanding interest will clearly be an important milestone in the field. * Jean-Michel Raimond, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France * There has been an explosion of interest in this topic in the last twenty years. Since the publication of the first edition of this text there have been substantial experimental breakthroughs, and subsequent refinement of theoretical treatments. In particular, including discussion of Fermi gases, quantum mixtures, low dimensional systems and dipolar gases will be valuable additions to the list of content... This is a timely topic and there currently is no competing book at this level of depth... Pitaevskii and Stringari are both internationally-renowned experts in their field. They both have a distinguished research track record, and can claim to be pioneers in the field of the theoretical treatment of Bose-Einstein Condensation and superfluidity. Both have made significant contributions to the field, sustained over a long period of time. It is difficult to imagine finding a better pairing to write a book about this topic. * Ifan Hughes, Durham University * The book is a good resource for the theoretical description of BEC beyond the idealised configurations that are described in many texts. The concise style and large amount of notation requires constant effort from the reader, but seems inevitable to explain many of the surprising phenomena appearing in BECs. * Diego Blas Temino, CERN Courier *

Author Information

Lev P. Pitaevskii is a researcher at the CNR Trento research center on Bose-Einstein Condensation and at the Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow. He was educated at Saratov University (Russia) and worked at the Institute for Physical Problems and also at Technion (Haifa, Israel). He has worked at the University of Trento since 1998. His main expertise is in the theory of superfluidity, Bose-Einsten condensation, Van der Waals forces and plasma physics. He is co-author of the books Quantum Electrodynamics, Statistical Physics, Part II (Condensed Matter Theory) and Physical Kinetics, which are part of the Landau-Lifshitz Course of Theoretical Physics. He is a full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Sandro Stringari is a full professor at the University of Trento and member of the CNR Trento research center on Bose-Einstein Condensation. After his studies at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa he started his scientific career in the field of nuclear physics, quantum clusters and quantum fluids. He is an expert in the theory of ultracold atomic gases where he made important contributions on their dynamic and superfluid behavior. He worked, as invited scientist, at the Department of Theoretical Physics in Oxford and at the Institut de Physique Nucléaire in Orsay . In the year 2004/05 he held the European Chair at the College de France in Paris. Sandro Stringari has been the organizer of several conferences and schools in different domains of physics. He is corresponding member of the Italian Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.
