In summary, the two forms of \hat{H} are correct and are used in different contexts depending on the assumed unit cell volume.

[tex]\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2V}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}[/tex]

Is this correct form or maybe?

[tex]\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2N}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}[/tex]

One form is in book and one in scripts! This is first relation so I'm not quite sure! Thanks for you're answer!

Actually both forms are correct. In the second, the author assumes the unit cell volumn is one, so N indicates the total volumn V.

The Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian is a commonly used model in the study of superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates. It describes the energy of a system of interacting bosons in a superfluid state, where the bosons are represented by creation and annihilation operators. The first term in the Hamiltonian represents the kinetic energy of the bosons, while the second term represents the interaction energy between them. The form of the second term may vary depending on the specific system or context. It is important to consult reliable sources and experts in the field for the correct form of the Hamiltonian in a particular case.
 

Related to Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian

1. What is the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian?

The Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian is a mathematical representation of a quantum mechanical system that describes the behavior of a superfluid, which is a state of matter with zero viscosity and infinite thermal conductivity. It was developed by Russian physicist Nikolay Bogoliubov in the 1940s.

2. How does the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian work?

The Hamiltonian is based on the concept of a condensate, which is a collection of particles that are all in the same quantum state. It takes into account the interactions between particles in the condensate and the effects of external forces such as temperature and pressure. By solving the equations of the Hamiltonian, scientists can predict the behavior of a superfluid system.

3. What are the key features of the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian?

The Hamiltonian has three key features that make it useful for studying superfluids. First, it allows for the calculation of the energy of the system, which is essential for understanding its stability and behavior. Second, it takes into account the interactions between particles, which is crucial for describing the collective behavior of the superfluid. And third, it can be used to study both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems.

4. What are some applications of the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian?

The Hamiltonian has been successfully applied in a wide range of fields, including condensed matter physics, atomic and molecular physics, and astrophysics. Some specific applications include studying the properties of ultracold gases, understanding superfluid helium, and exploring the behavior of neutron stars.

5. Are there any limitations to the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian?

While the Hamiltonian is a powerful tool for studying superfluid systems, it does have some limitations. For example, it does not account for the effects of disorder or impurities in the system. Additionally, it assumes that the particles in the condensate are all identical and have the same interactions, which may not be the case in some systems. Overall, the Hamiltonian provides a useful framework for understanding superfluidity, but it should be used in conjunction with other theories and experimental data for a more comprehensive understanding.
