Abstract
We studied quantum depletion in a gaseous Bose-Einstein condensate. An optical lattice enhanced the atomic interactions and modified the dispersion relation resulting in strong quantum depletion. The depleted fraction was directly observed as a diffuse background in the time-of-flight images. Bogoliubov theory provides a semiquantitative description for our observations of depleted fractions in excess of 50%.Year: 2006 PMID: 16712348 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.180405
