Non-Ground-State Bose-Einstein Condensates of Trapped Atoms
The possibility of creating a Bose condensate of trapped atoms in a
non-ground state is suggested. Such a nonequilibrium Bose condensate can be
formed if one, first, obtains the conventional Bose condensate in the ground
state and then transfers the condensed atoms to a non-ground state by means of
a resonance pumping. The properties of ground and non-ground states are
compared and plausible applications of such nonequilibrium condensates are
discussed.Comment: 1 file, 16 pages, RevTe
